Retirement system merger.

Official statutory text

A municipal utility that has established a pension and annuity retirement system for its employees pursuant to chapter 412, or a school district that has established a pension and annuity retirement system for its employees pursuant to chapter 294, may adopt a resolution to authorize the merger of its pension and annuity retirement system with and into the Iowa public employees’ retirement system. The system is authorized, but is not required, to accept such a proposal. The governing body of the municipal utility or school district and the Iowa public employees’ retirement system shall, acting in their fiduciary capacities, mutually determine the terms and conditions of such a merger, including any additional funds necessary to fund the service credits being transferred to the Iowa public employees’ retirement system, and either party may decline the merger if they cannot agree on such terms and conditions. The system shall adopt such rules as it deems necessary and prudent to effectuate mergers as provided by this section.
