Legislative Updates
The 2020 Regular Session of the Missouri General Assembly concluded on Friday, May 14, 2021 with no MPERS related legislation being passed. Throughout the session, there were two bills presented that would have some level of implication for MPERS. Those bills are noted below.
This was a joint bill between the Missouri State Employees’ Retirement System and MPERS. This bill was to serve as a cleanup bill which, if enacted, would have corrected errors and references as well as clarified confusing statutory language.
This bill did not pass.
This bill would have changed MPERS’ board makeup. If enacted, this would have reduced the number of highway commissioners from three to one and would have added a Governor-appointed trustee with institutional investment experience.
This bill did not pass.
