 2         (5)  The contribution rate that applies to the

 4  Class of the Florida Retirement System shall be increased by
 5  0.19 percentage points.

14  These increases shall be in addition to all other changes to
15  such contribution rates which may be enacted into law to take
16  effect on that date. The Division of Statutory Revision is
17  directed to adjust the contribution rates set forth in
18  sections 121.052, 121.055, and 121.071, Florida Statutes.
19         Section 3.  The Legislature finds that a proper and
20  legitimate state purpose is served when employees and retirees
21  of the state and its political subdivisions, and the
22  dependents, survivors, and beneficiaries of such employees and
23  retirees, are extended the basic protections afforded by
24  governmental retirement systems. These persons must be
25  provided benefits that are fair and adequate and that are
26  managed, administered, and funded in an actuarially sound
27  manner, as required by Section 14, Article X of the State
28  Constitution, and part VII of chapter 112, Florida Statutes.
29  Therefore, the Legislature determines and declares that this
30  act fulfills an important state interest.
