House Bill 22-1034, concerning the administration of retirement plans administered by the fire and police pension association, merged the statewide defined benefit plan, the statewide hybrid plan, and the social security supplemental plan into a single statewide retirement plan. Certain statutory cross references in House Bill 22-1034 were not properly updated to reflect the repeals and relocations of statutory provisions that were necessary to accomplish the merger. The act updates the obsolete statutory cross references. The act also updates the definition of "member" in the new hire pension plan statute to clarify that a portion of the definition applies only for purposes of the statewide money purchase plan and repeals an inapplicable portion of the definition of "member" in the statewide retirement plan statute.
