An Act making appropriations from the State Employees' Retirement Fund and from the SERS Defined Contribution Fund to provide for expenses of the State 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:** - State employees participating in the retirement system - The State Employees' Retirement Board (which administers retirement benefits) - Current and future state retirees **What would change:** The retirement board would receive funding to continue operating and managing state employee retirement benefits for another year. This ensures the board can process retirement applications, manage investments, pay benefits, and handle administrative tasks. Without this appropriation, the board couldn't function properly, potentially disrupting retirement services for state employees. **Current status:** The bill has been introduced but not yet passed into law.
