AI Summary

This bill amends the state's retirement laws to expand the retirement option selections available to certain public retirees. Specifically, it changes the effective date of a previous law provision from May 17, 2005 to November 18, 2011, allowing more public retirees to choose their retirement options. The bill also requires the retirement board to make appropriate adjustments or repayments to recover any overpayments resulting from prior elections, and sets a deadline of August 1, 2015 for currently married retirees receiving an allowance to change their retirement options. The board has 180 days to implement the changes after receiving an application.
