An Act making appropriations from the Public School Employees' Retirement Fund and from the PSERS Defined Contribution Fund to provide for expenses of the Public School Employees' Retirement Board for the fiscal year July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, and for the payment of bills incurred and remaining unpaid at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

**Who it affects:** Current and future public school employees (teachers, administrators, support staff) who participate in the state retirement system, as these funds help maintain their pension benefits. Taxpayers are indirectly affected since these are public funds. **What would change:** The retirement board would receive funding to continue operations, ensuring pension payments and retirement services continue without interruption. Without this appropriation, the board couldn't pay its administrative costs or outstanding bills. **Current status:** The bill has been introduced but not yet passed into law.
