AB 1190, as introduced, Cooley. Public employees: retirement: elections.
The Public Employees’ Retirement Law creates the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS), which provides a defined benefit to its members based on age at retirement, service credit, and final compensation. Existing law vests the management and control of the PERS in the Board of Administration of the PERS. Existing law provides that the membership of the board includes 6 members elected under the supervision of the board. Existing law requires the board to distribute ballots to each member of the retirement system in advance of each election, the results of which are required to be certified by the Secretary of State.
This bill would additionally authorize an entity designated by the Secretary of the State to provide that mandatory certification of election results.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
