The act changes the allocation of the direct distribution by specifying that, beginning with the direct distribution occurring on July 1, 2026, and on July 1 of each year thereafter, PERA is required to allocate the direct distribution to the trust funds of each division of PERA on an actuarial basis to maximize PERA's blended total contribution amount in a manner that limits, to the extent possible, the triggering of automatic adjustment provisions, which are triggered when PERA's divisions fall below a targeted level of funding. Beginning July 1, 2026, the act prohibits PERA from allocating any portion of the direct distribution to the local government division or the Denver public schools division; except that, beginning July 1, 2030, the Denver public schools division is no longer excluded.
