Bill > HB1146

This bill allows "approved facility schools," which are defined by referencing another section of law related to educational facilities, to join the Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA), a retirement system for public employees in Colorado. Currently, PERA's definition of an "employer" includes various state and local government entities, school districts, and other public organizations, and this bill adds "approved facility school" to that list. The bill also amends the process for public entities to affiliate with PERA, explicitly stating that approved facility schools can apply to join and will be assigned to the local government division of PERA. Furthermore, it clarifies that approved facility schools can also apply to terminate their affiliation with PERA, following specific procedures that involve their governing body and employee approval.
