Legislative Update
New Updates Pending:
The State
Association of County Retirement Systems (SACRS)
Legislative Committee recommends, carries, amends, monitors, analyzes
and takes positions on State and Federal legislative items that
may impact, or be of interest, to the 20 counties in California
whose retirement systems are governed by the 1937 Act. Santa Barbara
County is a 1937 Act county. The 13-member Committee consists of
a lobbyist, a consultant, an actuary, an attorney, 3 Retirement
Administrators, 3 Trustees, a Legislative Affairs Officer, a County
Treasurer and a California Retired County Employees Association
representative.
CRITERIA
FOR SACRS SPONSORED LEGISLATION:
The criteria used by the Legislative Committee to determine
whether or not SACRS will sponsor legislation is:
- Proposals
must have a SACRS-wide implication; not unique to a single county
- Will not
sponsor benefit enhancements that should be proposed by employers,
employees, or retirement groups
- Will not
sponsor legislation:
- That is
political in nature, divisive, tried before or rejected by the
legislature or governor
- That the
committee feels the timing for passage is not good
- Where Proposition
162 has already clarified the trustees' authority
- Where the
committee feels that the trustees already have the authority
-
