Retirement System.
The bill was read third time and was passed.
On motion of Representative Kuempel and by unanimous consent, the caption
of SB 1459 was ordered amended to conform to the body of the bill.
STATEMENT BY REPRESENTATIVE WENTWORTH
While SB 1459 is a permissive rather than a mandatory bill, and while the bill
applies to an entire class of persons and not just to me, it does apply to me. For that
reason, and because it might be considered by some to be a conflict of interest, I
voted "Present, Not Voting" on SB 1459.
