RETIREMENT SYSTEMS: Provides relative to legislative staff attendance at executive sessions of meetings of any state or statewide retirement system board or committee (EN NO IMPACT APV)

HB 8 requires written authorization for legislative staff to attend executive sessions of Louisiana's state or statewide retirement system boards. The authorization must name specific staff members, be submitted to the retirement system director, and remain valid for four years unless revoked. Committee chairs for the House and Senate Retirement Committees can revoke or modify these authorizations at any time with written notice. This bill directly affects legislative staff seeking to observe closed retirement board meetings, establishing clear procedures for access.
