AI Summary
This bill provides for the full forfeiture of pension benefits for elected or appointed public officials who are convicted of any crime related to their official duties. It amends existing law to require the board of trustees of any state or locally-administered pension fund or retirement system to order the forfeiture of all earned service credit or pension/retirement benefits for members who are convicted of a crime involving misconduct during their public service, if the misconduct touches or relates to their official position. The bill also authorizes the board to order partial forfeiture of benefits based on factors such as the member's length of service, the nature of the misconduct, and the relationship between the misconduct and the member's public duties.
