Recommendation:

That the Senate recede from its position of nonconcurrence with the House amendment, and concur with the House amendment, and

That the Senate and House adopt the following new amendment to the bill as amended by the House, and pass the bill as so amended:

Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following:

1 New Paragraph; Definition Added; Spousal Acknowledgment. Amend RSA 100-A:1 by inserting after paragraph XXX the following new paragraph:

XXXI. "Spousal acknowledgment" means a written recognition, signed by a member’s spouse, of the benefit payment plan selected by the member under the provisions of RSA 100-A:5, RSA 100-A:6, RSA 100-A:10, or RSA 100-A:19-a - 19-h that is filed with the retirement system on a form prescribed by the board of trustees at the time of retirement and when the member elects a change in benefit payment as allowed under RSA 100-A:13.

2 Service Retirement; Group II; Minimum Allowance Increased. Amend RSA 100-A:5, II (c) (1) to read as follows:

(c)(1) Notwithstanding any provision of RSA 100-A to the contrary, any group II member who has retired on [a full service retirement allowance] or after the effective date of this subparagraph after attaining the age of 45 with at least 20 years of creditable service shall receive a minimum annual service retirement allowance of [$5,200] $10,000. [In comparing the minimum service retirement allowance and the full service retirement allowance, the full service retirement allowance shall be the sum of the basic allowance plus COLA's. The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to a group II member who has retired on a reduced or on a vested deferred retirement allowance. In the case of a group II member who has retired on a full service retirement allowance, and who] If such group II member has elected to convert the retirement allowance into an optional allowance for the surviving spouse under RSA 100-A:13, the surviving spouse shall be entitled to a proportional share of the [$5,200 which shall be based upon the optional allowance which the surviving spouse is receiving. Under no circumstances shall the provisions of this subparagraph be construed to reduce the retirement benefits being paid to a group II member as of the effective date of this subparagraph] $10,000.

3 Optional Allowances; Spousal Acknowledgement of Election. Amend RSA 100-A:13, I to read as follows:

I. Any member who has reached service retirement age as provided in RSA 100-A:5, I(a), or II(a), or RSA 100-A:19-b, or any retiree within 120 days after the effective date of retirement, may elect to receive, instead of the retirement allowance otherwise payable, a retirement allowance of equivalent actuarial value under one of the options named in paragraph III, or to redesignate any such option previously elected. When the member elects to receive an optional retirement allowance under paragraph III, the beneficiary or beneficiaries whom the member nominates may include the member's spouse and/or children. The notice of non-election, election, or change of retirement option shall be on a form designated by the board, which, if the member is married, shall include a spousal acknowledgment. The optional allowance shall be effective upon retirement if the election is made before the effective date of retirement, and on the first day of the month following receipt by the board of the notice of election or change of option if made during the 120-day grace period. When an election or change of option is made during the 120-day grace period, no retroactive adjustments will be made in payments already received by the retiree. After expiration of the 120-day grace period no change in option selection shall be permitted except as provided in paragraph II. If a retiree dies after filing notice of election or change of option during the 120-day grace period but before the effective date, the election or change shall be effective as of the date of death. If a member dies after filing an election for a survivorship retirement option and before the effective date of retirement, whether or not the member has filed for retirement, the beneficiary who was nominated by the member in the election of the option may elect to receive either the optional survivor benefit which the member had elected or the ordinary death benefit provided under RSA 100-A:9, whichever is more advantageous to the beneficiary; provided that, in the case of the member's death before retirement, if the beneficiary named in the survivorship option election is not the same person as the beneficiary under RSA 100-A:9, then the death benefit under RSA 100-A:9, II, and not the survivorship option shall apply.

4 New Section; Supplemental Allowances for Certain Retired Group II Members. Amend RSA 100-A by inserting after section 41-a the following new section:

100-A:41-b Supplemental Allowances for Certain Retired Group II Members.

I.

An eligible retired group II member shall be a member, or beneficiary of such member, who retired with at least 20 years of creditable service under RSA 100-A:5, II, or member, or beneficiary of such member, who retired under RSA 100-A:6, II.

II. The one-time supplemental retirement allowance payable to the member shall be the percentage of the member’s annual retirement allowance as follows:

(a) Annual retirement allowance less than $9,300, the applicable percentage to reach a $10,000 annual retirement allowance;

(b) Annual retirement allowance greater than or equal to $9,300 and less than $11,700, 7 ½ percent;

(c) Annual retirement allowance greater than or equal to $11,700 and less than $13,700, 5 ½ percent;

The provisions of this section shall not apply to a group II member who has retired on a reduced or vested deferred retirement allowance. The additional allowance shall become a permanent addition to each member or beneficiary’s base retirement allowance, as provided in RSA 100-A:41-a.

5 Funding of Supplemental Allowances. The total actuarial cost of the additional allowances provided in RSA 100-A:41-b as inserted by section 4 of this act shall be funded on a terminal basis from the special account established in RSA 100-A:16, II(h).

6 Repeal. RSA 100-A:5, II(c)(2) and (3), relative to the reduction in minimum service retirement allowance due to federal social security benefits or other benefits, are repealed.

7 Applicability. The changes to retirement system benefit amounts in sections 2 and 4 of this act shall apply as of the effective date of this act, but payment of the benefit amounts accruing to any member or beneficiary as of the effective date may be delayed by the retirement system until such time as necessary administrative and system upgrades are accomplished provided such payment is by September 30, 2000.

8 Effective Date. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

If such interest or estate is in fee, he or she shall be entitled to partition or division in fee; if a life estate or a term for years, he or she shall be entitled to partition or division thereof to continue so long as his or her estate or interest endures. A life tenant, remainderman, or a tenant for years of whose term at least 20 years remains unexpired may, in the exercise of the court's equitable powers, have partition of the fee. The existence of a lease of the whole or a part of the [land] property to be divided shall not prevent partition or division, but such partition or division shall not disturb possession of a lessee under a lease covering the interests of all the co-tenants.

2 Petitions for Partition of Property. Amend RSA 547-C:2 to read as follows:

547-C:2 Petition. A petition may be filed by such person in the probate court in the county in which the [estate] property or any part of the [estate] property lies or is then located, particularly describing the [estate] property, the names of all owners or persons interested, if known, and the share or interest of the petitioner in the [estate] property and praying for partition or division of the [estate] property. Upon petition by the administrator or upon its own motion, the court may cause any [real estate] property to be partitioned or divided and awarded or assigned in accordance with procedures described in this chapter. Nothing in this chapter is intended to abrogate common law or statutory authority of the superior and district courts to adjudicate issues of personal property between parties engaged in litigation before those courts.

3 Appeal of Partition Judgment. Amend RSA 547-C:3 to read as follows:

547-C:3 Appeal. In cases where a right to jury trial is guaranteed by the constitution, a person may, at the time judgment by the probate court is declared, appeal therefrom to the superior court. The appeal shall be entered 15 days from the date of the register's issuance of the notice of decision unless for good cause shown the time is extended by the superior court. If a trial by jury is requested, the superior court shall expedite such request and schedule the case for trial in as timely a manner as possible and may cause any [real estate] property to be partitioned or divided in accordance with procedures described in this chapter. In all cases which are so appealed, it shall be the duty of the superior court to transmit to the judge of the probate court, within 10 days after the case is finally disposed of, a certificate showing the final disposition of the case.

4 Property Owner Unknown. Amend RSA 547-C:4 to read as follows:

547-C:4 Owner Unknown. If the persons interested in any such [real estate] property with the petitioner are unknown, it shall be described in the petition in the same manner as is required in the case of taxing unimproved lands of nonresidents, specifying the share held by each petitioner, and stating that it is held with persons unknown.

5 Disputed Partition; Notice. Amend RSA 547-C:5 to read as follows:

Matters alleged in the petition may be denied or avoided by the petitionee by plea, and further proceedings may be had, and an issue of fact or of law made and tried, as upon a writ at common law or a bill in equity, and the court shall have full power to determine the respective interests of all the parties; or the petitionee may file a plea denying that the petitionee holds any part of the [premises] property with the petitioner, with a brief statement of matters in defense.

8 Judgment for Partition; Quieting Title. RSA 547-C:11 is repealed and reenacted to read as follows:

547-C:11 Judgment for Partition. If the issue is determined in favor of the petitioner, or if after notice the petitionee does not appear, or if no sufficient objection is made, the court shall render judgment that partition be made, and shall by decree set off and assign to the petitioner or petitionee their shares according to their respective rights, titles, or interests, and award costs, as the court deems equitable and just. In so doing, with an appropriate pleading, the court may also quiet title in discharge or extinguishment of any right, title, or interest that may otherwise unlawfully or inequitably encumber or burden the real estate as fully and completely as a court of general equity may do. The court shall make such partition as it decrees by metes and bounds or other distinct description. The partition shall be recorded at the registry of deeds for the county where the real estate lies.

9 Quiet Title. Amend RSA 547:11-c to read as follows:

547:11-c Quiet Title. An action may be brought in probate court by any person claiming title to, or any interest in, real or personal property, or both, in partition under RSA 547-C, listed in the estate of a deceased person or listed as guardianship, conservatorship, or trust assets over which the probate court has jurisdiction, against the estate, guardian, conservator, or trustee who may claim to own the same, either in fee, for years, for life or in reversion or remainder, or to have any interest in the same, or any lien or encumbrance thereon, adverse to the plaintiff, or in whom the land records disclose any interest, whether or not the plaintiff is entitled to the immediate or exclusive possession of such property, for the purpose of determining such adverse estate, interest or claim, and to clear up all doubts and disputes and to quiet and settle the title to the same. In any action brought under this provision, where applicable, the procedure set forth in RSA 498:5-b through 5-d shall be followed.
