Dear Senator
Heath:
This
bill would amend provisions relating to membership in the Employees’
Retirement System. Specifically, this bill would prohibit tax commissioners,
tax collectors, tax receivers, and employees of such officers from becoming
members of the Employees’ Retirement System. This would affect all
persons who take such positions on or after July 1, 2008. Any person holding
such position on June 30, 2008 would be entitled to remain a member of the
System.
This
is to certify that this is a fiscal retirement bill as defined in the Public
Retirement Systems Standards Law.
Respectfully,
/s/ Russell W.
