BACKGROUND:
When the Department of Retirement Systems was created in 1976, several separate retirement systems were consolidated.
At that time, the enabling legislation authorized creation of two divisions: Operations, to administer the various retirement systems (now the Retirement Systems Division), and Administrative Services/Fiscal, for agency management. Since then, an Information Systems Division has been developed, and the department has requested amendment of the statute.
SUMMARY:
The Department of Retirement Systems is given authority to be organized into three divisions.
