This bill amends the membership requirements for the board of trustees of the State Police Retirement System (SPRS) by removing the stipulation that two members appointed by the Governor must be private citizens who are neither active nor retired members of the system. The current structure of the board includes two active or retired members of SPRS, two members appointed by the Governor, and the State Treasurer. The change allows for greater flexibility in the appointment of the Governor's representatives, as they may now include individuals who are active or retired members of the system.

The board of trustees is tasked with overseeing the proper operation of the retirement system, and this bill aims to streamline the membership criteria to potentially enhance the board's effectiveness. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a legislative intent to modernize the governance of the SPRS and adapt to the evolving needs of its membership.
