Legislation to boost the pensions of certain retirees now is state law.

Gov. Bobby Jindal signed House Bill 586, which gives teacher and state employee retirees living at poverty level an up to $300 a month increase.

The legislation would affect about 1,300 retirees, their beneficiaries and survivors who receive pensions through the Louisiana State Employee Retirement System and the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana.

The governor also signed House Bill 333 which ensures that homeowners pay only one named-storm deductible.
