As a condition precedent to the introduction of any retirement bill, the applicable legislative staff, on behalf of the member of the Legislature who intends to be the primary author of the bill must present an exact copy of the proposed bill, which must bear an RB number, to the Legislative Actuary. The Legislative Actuary shall determine whether the proposed bill is a retirement bill having a fiscal impact or a nonfiscal retirement bill and provide a written certification of that determination to the member of the Legislature who intends to be the primary author of the bill. Such certification shall specifically identify the proposed bill by reference to the RB number. If the proposed bill is introduced into the Legislature, it shall have attached thereto the original of the certification of the Legislative Actuary. If the RB number on the bill as offered for introduction is different from the RB number shown on the certification of the Legislative Actuary or if the bill as offered for introduction does not bear an RB number on each page of the bill, the bill may not be accepted for introduction by the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk of the House of Representatives, and the bill may not be considered by any committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate or by the House of Representatives or the Senate. If the bill is certified as a retirement bill having a fiscal impact, its introduction shall also be limited by the provisions of subsection A of Section 3107 of this title.
