HB 318 -- ADMINISTRATIVE RULES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT

SPONSOR:  O'Toole

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee
on Retirement by a vote of 10 to 0.

This bill adds a requirement for public employee retirement
plans to furnish a copy of the proposed rule to the Joint
Committee on Public Employee Retirement when promulgating
administrative rules.  Plans that file rules with the Secretary
of State must furnish a copy to the committee prior to or
concurrent with their filing with the Secretary of State.  Plans
that are not required to file with the Secretary of State must
furnish a copy to the committee within 10 days of promulgating
the rule.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that rules should be filed with the
Joint Committee on Retirement.  This will give the committee the
chance to review rules and know what changes are being made in
the different systems.

Testifying for the bill was Representative O'Toole.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
