Summary
The bill amends the retirement system’s rules so that anyone who disagrees with an executive director’s order must request a contested‑case hearing in writing within 60 days of the order’s mailing. If the request is not made in time, courts lose jurisdiction to hear the challenge. The change affects retirees, beneficiaries and other individuals dealing with the system’s decisions.
