The Legislature finds that the retirement of officers and employees of the state, school districts, and many cities, counties, and public jurisdictions in the state, is provided under several independently administered and highly complex and technical statutes, and that development and change in such systems are interrelated and have important long-range implications both with respect to cost and to the rights of public employees. The Legislature recognizes the need of coordination of such change and development and for continuing study and analysis of such systems and legislation affecting them. The Legislature also recognizes the need to recommend legislation to change employers’ and employees’ contributions through increased portfolio yield.
Therefore, it is the desire of the Legislature to provide for such continuing study and analysis by a joint legislative committee.
