For additional information see the State Pension Review Board Sunset Final Report with Legislative Action.

Continuation and Governance

  • Continues the State Pension Review Board for 12 years.
  • Removes the two legislative members from the Board, reducing the Board’s size from nine to seven members, each of whom is appointed by the Governor.

Focused Reporting

  • Exempts defined contribution and local volunteer firefighter pension plans from PRB reporting requirements except for registration and basic plan information.
  • Directs the agency to stop collecting unnecessary quarterly financial data from retirement systems. (management action – nonstatutory)

Enhanced Reporting Requirements

  • Requires public retirement systems to provide PRB with a summary of significant plan changes within 30 days, rather than 270, of their adoption.
  • Requires public retirement systems that conduct experience studies to submit copies of the studies to PRB.
  • Clarifies in statute that sponsoring entity audits do not satisfy retirement systems’ annual financial reporting requirements.

Retirement System Training

  • Clarifies the agency’s authority to provide training in a way that is accessible to all public retirement system trustees and administrators.
  • Directs PRB to develop training content that more directly assists public retirement systems with managing their plans. (management action – nonstatutory)
