Sponsor: Representative Livingston, LD 28 
Committee on Ways & Means 
Overview 
Allows a political subdivision and political subdivision entities that do not already participate in the 
Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) to allow their employees to participate solely in an 
ASRS supplemental employee deferral plan. 
History 
ASRS is allowed to establish a supplemental employee deferral plan for employees of ASRS 
employers. A supplemental employee deferral plan is a tax deferred annuity, as described in the 
Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and that complies with the sections of the IRC under which the 
plan is adopted and maintained. (A.R.S. § 38-781) 
Provisions 
1. Allows employees of a political subdivision and political subdivision entities that are not 
participating in ASRS to elect to allow their employees to participate in a supplemental 
employee deferral plan. (Sec. 1) 
2. Specifies that a political subdivision or political subdivision entity that participates in a 
supplemental employee deferral plan is not an ASRS employer and that the employees are 
not ASRS members. (Sec. 1) 
3. Makes conforming changes. (Sec. 1)
