SB 1292 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

PSPRS; investments

SB 1292 amends Arizona's law governing the board of trustees for the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS), which serves police, firefighters, and other public safety employees. The bill specifies how board members are appointed (e.g., two law enforcement representatives nominated by the Senate president and governor, two firefighters nominated by the House speaker and governor) and requires non-system members to have at least 10 years of experience in finance, investment, or pension management. It also clarifies the board's authority to manage retirement fund investments, including using third-party investment managers for certain assets like mutual funds or real estate trusts. This bill directly affects the governance and investment oversight of Arizona's public safety retirement system.
