It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this chapter, to provide for an efficient, equitable, and economical means of satisfying certain pension obligations of the state. Bonds shall be issued pursuant to this chapter only when the Director of Finance determines that the state’s pension obligations are anticipated to be reduced as a result of changes in the Public Employees’ Retirement Law that reduce contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System, and it is in the best interest of the state to issue bonds pursuant to this chapter to accelerate a portion of the state’s anticipated lower pension obligations.
