Abstract: Modifies provisions applicable to entities that may become employers covered by the
Parochial Employees' Retirement System of La. (PERS).
Present law applicable to PERS defines "employer" as any parish in the state of La., except Orleans
and East Baton Rouge, the governing body of a parish which employs and pays persons serving the
parish, the Police Jury Assoc. of La., the La. School Boards Assoc., and this retirement system.
Present law further authorizes certain taxing districts and other entities to request PERS to approve
their inclusion as employers.
Proposed law makes technical corrections to coordinate the definitions of employee and employer.
(Amends R.S. 11:1902(12)(c) and (d) and (13) and 1903; Adds R.S. 11:1902(12)(f) and (g))
