DESCRIPTION



This act allows a self-directed deferred retirement plan program for the St. Louis Firefighters Retirement System. Currently, deferred retirement plan programs are required to accrue interest equal to the percentage rate of return on the system's portfolio. Self-directed programs shall not accrue interest at that rate of return, but would accrue interest based on the self-directed investments.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
