The Pension Laws Commission was established July 7, 1995 through an amendment to the Legislative Commission Reorganization Act of 1984. The Commission is a legislative support service agency which provides a continuing study of the laws and practices pertaining to pensions and related retirement and disability benefits. The Commission is a bipartisan entity comprised of 16 members appointed by the four leaders of the General Assembly. Eight members represent the State legislators and eight members represent public citizens with an interest in and a knowledge of pension systems. This is our first audit of the Commission.
