Makes local government business administrators eligible for membership in PERS; provides for transfer from Defined Contribution Retirement Program to PERS.
This bill would make local government business administrators eligible for the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) by allowing them to transfer from the Defined Contribution Retirement Program (DCRP) to PERS. Currently, business administrators are excluded from both PERS and the DCRP under existing law. The bill amends eligibility rules to include business administrators in the DCRP and establishes a formal process for transferring to PERS. This change would provide these employees with access to a different retirement system they previously could not join.
