2019 No. 206
The Local Government Pension Scheme (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2019
Made
Coming into operation
The Department for Communities1, with the consent of the Department of Finance2, makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 1, 3 and 25 of, and Schedule 3 to, the Public Service Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 20143.
In accordance with section 21 of that Act, the Department has consulted with such persons or representatives of such persons as appear to the Department likely to be affected by these Regulations.
The retrospective provisions contained in these Regulations do not appear to the Department to have significant adverse effects in relation to the pension payable to or in respect of members of the scheme established by The Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 20144 or the schemes preserved by the Local Government Pension Scheme (Amendment and Transitional Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 20145, nor in any other way in relation to members of those schemes. Accordingly, the procedures set out in section 23 of that Act are not applicable in respect of these Regulations.
