Question Presented (from Petition)
Does the statutory scheme of the Louisiana State
Employees' Retirement System ("LASERS") violate
the Equal Protection Clause by defining earned compensation as excluding supplemental pay for purposes
of calculating retirement benefits, where supplemental pay is included in the definition of earned
compensation for state judges, law enforcement officers, teachers, and firefighters, thus treating them
more favorably than those state employees other
than judges, who are forced by law to participate in
LASERS?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
