AI Summary
This bill expands the eligibility for members of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERSGA) to transfer their contributions to the Georgia Judicial Retirement System (GJRS), a retirement plan specifically for judges and certain other legal officials. Previously, only superior court judges, state court judges, solicitors-general, or district attorneys could make such transfers, but this bill allows any member of the ERSGA to transfer their funds to the GJRS, provided they notify the respective boards of trustees by December 31, 2026, or within 90 days of becoming a member of the GJRS or entering a covered position, whichever is later. The bill also includes provisions for its effective date, stating it will take effect on July 1, 2026, only if it is determined to have been concurrently funded according to the Public Retirement Systems Standards Law, otherwise it will be automatically repealed on that date.
