Bill > SB3097

This bill allows the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) of the State of Hawaii, through its Executive Director, to appoint a deputy executive director, a chief compliance officer, and an information security officer, and exempts these specific executive personnel positions from the State's civil service requirements, which are the standard rules and regulations governing public employment. This exemption means these positions will not have to go through the usual hiring and employment processes mandated by chapter 76 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, allowing for more direct appointment and management by the ERS leadership. The bill also specifies that these appointees will serve under the Executive Director, with their duties, qualifications, and salaries determined by the board, and that this exemption will take effect on January 1, 2077.
