An Act relative to the fifth member of the public employee retirement systems

This bill amends a provision in public employee retirement systems regarding the selection of the fifth member. It requires that if the other four members fail to choose a replacement within 90 days after the fifth member's term ends or resigns, the position must be filled by either the mayor (with city council confirmation in cities) or the board of selectmen (in towns). The change directly affects local governments managing public employee retirement systems by clarifying the appointment process when a vacancy occurs. The bill does not alter retirement benefits or funding, only the procedure for filling a specific board position.
