A bill for an act relating to public retirement systems by allowing for the forfeiture of certain portions of the pension of a public employee who commits a felony.

This bill requires public retirement systems in Iowa to revoke pension benefits for public employees convicted of a felony before they receive their pension (a "bona fide retirement"). It applies to employees covered under the state's peace officers' system (97A), public employees' system (97B), or judicial retirement system (602), including public officials. If convicted, the employee must return any pension benefits received that exceed their own contributions to the system, and the non-contribution portion of the pension becomes subject to forfeiture under state property laws. The bill ensures existing marital, child support, or victim compensation obligations remain unaffected by this provision.
