Section 238.601 - Legislative findings and intent; administration of system.
Universal Citation: OR Rev Stat § 238.601 (2019)
The Legislative Assembly finds that the maintenance of a solid, affordable public employees retirement plan is essential to providing effective, efficient services to the citizens of Oregon by allowing the state and political subdivisions of the state to hire and retain employees who are committed to providing those services. It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly that the Public Employees Retirement Board, in performing its duties as trustee of the Public Employees Retirement Fund, recognize that the continued stability and viability of the Public Employees Retirement System depends on the ability of public employers and taxpayers to pay the costs of the system. Consistent with this intent, the board shall administer the system to create and maintain long-term stability and viability in the system, and shall act to achieve full funding for the benefits provided by the system, giving equal consideration to the interests of the public employer and the employee to the extent that treatment does not violate the fiduciary duties of the board. Nothing in this section shall be construed to impose a fiduciary duty on the board to consider the interests of public employers, and the board shall consider the interests of public employers only with respect to matters unrelated to the board’s fiduciary duties as trustee of the fund. [2001 c.945 §2]
