A. Notwithstanding any provision of R.S. 11:1332 to the contrary, the board of trustees of the State Police Retirement System may pay a cost-of-living adjustment, payable beginning July 1, 2016, as follows:

(1) In accordance with Subsection C of this Section, the board may pay a cost-of-living adjustment to the following retirees and beneficiaries:

(a) Any retiree, other than a disability retiree, who has attained at least age sixty and who has received a benefit for at least one year.

(b) Any nonretiree beneficiary whose receipt of benefits is not based on the death of a disability retiree, if benefits had been paid to the retiree or the beneficiary, or both combined, for at least one year and if the retiree would have attained age sixty.

(c) Any disability retiree or a person who receives benefits from the system based on the death of a disability retiree, if benefits have been paid to the retiree or the beneficiary, or both combined, for at least one year.

(2) In accordance with Subsection D of this Section, the board may pay a supplemental cost-of-living adjustment to all retirees and beneficiaries who are at least age sixty-five and who retired on or before June 30, 2001.

B. Any benefit increases paid pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be paid from the funds in the system experience account.

C. The amount of the increase authorized by Paragraph (A)(1) of this Section shall be an amount determined by the system's actuary that is supported by the funds in the experience account after any credits or debits to the account up to a maximum payment of two percent of the benefit amount. The funds in the account shall be sufficient to fund such benefit fully on an actuarial basis. If the legislative auditor's actuary disagrees with the determination of the system's actuary, a cost-of-living adjustment shall not be granted.

D. The amount of the increase authorized by Paragraph (A)(2) of this Section shall be an amount determined by the system's actuary that is supported by the funds in the experience account after payment of the increase granted pursuant to Paragraph (A)(1) of this Section up to a maximum payment of two percent of the benefit amount. The funds in the account shall be sufficient to fund such benefit fully on an actuarial basis. If the legislative auditor's actuary disagrees with the determination of the system's actuary, such cost-of-living adjustment shall not be granted.
