Summary

The bill changes the Public Employees’ Retirement Law so that before any audit, the board must give written notice of the audit’s purpose, scope, and timeline, and list the audit on its website. It also obligates the audited employer to forward the notice and final audit report to any exclusive representatives of affected members, while keeping individual data confidential. This aims to increase transparency and give employee representatives timely information.
