IMPORTANT: The House Judiciary Committee will be hearing Committee Substitute for HB 286, Law Enforcement Licensure, tomorrow, Saturday, March 6, 2021.

ACTION ALERT:
HB 162 - PERA Board Changes
Dear RPENM Member:

An amended committee substitute for HB 162 (PERA Board changes) will be heard as the first order of business at the State Government, Elections & Indian Affairs Committee on Wednesday, March 3, 2021. Although the amended committee substitute makes some improvements to the original bill, there are still significant problems with this legislation. Most importantly, this legislation does nothing to address the incredible underrepresentation of retirees on the PERA Board. Retirees currently represent about 50% of all PERA members, but would only get 2 board positions on the new board, or less than 17% of the positions on the new board.

If the legislature is going to make significant changes to the PERA board, there should be proportional representation for retirees on the board. Retiree representatives should account for approximately 50% of all board positions. In addition, retirees were not consulted on this important legislation. The best solution is for the legislature to study this matter during the interim process, consult with all stakeholders and propose a true compromise that has been fully vetted during the 2022 legislative session.

Please immediately call the below members of the House State Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee and the Speaker of the House, Brian Egolf. These Representatives are considering making major changes to the PERA Board, which greatly impacts your retirement and livelihood without your input and consent. Other members of the committee are committed to protecting your rights and we do not need to call those members.

Urge the below members to vote NO on HB 162 until retirees get proportional representation on the PERA Board and/or until retirees have been included and have a meaningful voice in determining any major changes to the PERA Board of Trustees. Finally, remind the below members that, as retirees, WE VOTE!

Please take action today:

Submit a personal email and/or call Speaker of the House, Brian Egolf, in opposition to HB 162.
Representative Brian Egolf - [email protected] - (505) 986-4782

Submit a personal email and/or call to these House State Government, Elections & Indian Affairs Committee members in opposition to HB 162.

Legislative Update
HB 162 - PERA Board Changes
Dear RPENM Member:

Last week we informed you that HB 162 had been “tabled” in the House State Government, Elections & Indian Affairs Committee. Unfortunately, there are rumors that this same committee might reconsider this legislation.

We need to stay alert to this possible development and be prepared to fight to save the PERA board and our right to elect board members who will work to protect our precious pensions.

New Mexico PERA retirees did an amazing job in reaching out to the members of the first committee, but we may need to contact members of subsequent committees in the House, as well as the Senate.

As there are only one or two members of the first committee that may change their original vote, we do not think it is helpful to contact members of that committee. Some important allies are working on those members.

If the bill is revived and moves forward, it will go to the House Judiciary Committee. If that happens, we will notify you and ask you to contact the members of that committee. Please be prepared to contact members of the House Judiciary Committee, all Representatives and Senate committee members.

Please stay alert and be ready to fight again.

Thank you,

Joel W. Pafford
President
