§ 10600 Public Retirement System Coordination

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about studying and improving retirement plans for government workers like teachers, police, and city employees.
  • •The government wants to make sure these retirement plans are fair, not too expensive, and work well for everyone.
  • •A special group of lawmakers will keep checking these plans and suggest changes if needed.
  • •They also want to find ways to make the money in these plans grow more so workers and the government don’t have to pay as much.

Example

Imagine your teacher’s retirement money is saved in a big piggy bank. The government wants to make sure the piggy bank grows enough so your teacher has enough money when they retire.

The law says a group of people will keep an eye on the piggy bank (retirement plans) to make sure it’s fair and has enough money. They might suggest new rules to help the money grow faster.

§ 10600 Public Retirement System Coordination

The Legislature finds that the retirement of officers and employees of the state, school districts, and many cities, counties, and public jurisdictions in the state, is provided under several independently administered and highly complex and technical statutes, and that development and change in such systems are interrelated and have important long-range implications both with respect to cost and to the rights of public employees. The Legislature recognizes the need of coordination of such change and development and for continuing study and analysis of such systems and legislation affecting them. The Legislature also recognizes the need to recommend legislation to change employers’ and employees’ contributions through increased portfolio yield. Therefore, it is the desire of the Legislature to provide for such continuing study and analysis by a joint legislative committee. (Amended by Stats. 1982, Ch. 1155, Sec. 1.)
