To authorize a one-time early retirement incentive for certain state employees who retire between January 1 and February 1, 2005. State employees whose combined age and years of service totaled 75 as of December 31, 2004, would be eligible for the offer during a signup window of December 1 to December 31, 2004. The incentive would increase the multiplier used to calculate the retirement benefits of these employees from 1.5 percent to 1.75 percent, which would increase the cash portion of their pension benefits by 16.7 percent.
