Bill overview
This bill proposes to completely eliminate the pension benefits of elected or appointed officials who have been convicted of crimes related to their public office. It amends existing law to ensure that any crime, including offenses from other states or the federal government, that involves or touches upon their official duties and results in dishonorable service will trigger a full forfeiture of their pension. The bill also gives pension boards more discretion in determining the extent of the forfeiture, considering factors like the length of service and the nature of the misconduct.
