Abstract: Replaces the chairmen of the House and Senate committees on retirement with the
speaker of the House of Representatives and the president of the Senate on each state and

Present law establishes the following state and statewide retirement systems, plans, and funds:

(4) State Police Retirement System
(5) La. Assessors' Retirement Fund

(9) Municipal Employees' Retirement System
(10) Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System

(12) Registrars of Voters Employees' Retirement System
(13) Sheriffs' Pension and Relief Fund
Present law further provides that the chairmen of the House and Senate committees on retirement
serve as trustees on each such board. Proposed law removes the chairmen of the retirement
committees as trustees of each board and instead places the speaker of the House of Representatives
and the president of the Senate as ex officio trustees on each such board. Present law for every system except the State Police Retirement System authorizes the legislative
ex officio trustees to appoint designees. Proposed law authorizes the legislative ex officio trustees
to also appoint designees to serve on the State Police Retirement System board.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
