S 1275 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

PERSI – Amends and repeals existing law to remove obsolete language.

This bill (S 1275) removes outdated provisions from Idaho's public employee retirement system (PERS) laws. It repeals 10 specific sections of the Idaho Code that contained obsolete rules about retirement fund transfers, city system mergers, benefit calculations, and administrative processes. The bill also makes minor corrections to four other sections to update code references and ensure consistency. This is purely an administrative cleanup effort - no new benefits, funding, or eligibility changes are introduced. It directly affects how PERS laws are structured and referenced, streamlining the legal framework for retirement system administration.
