§ 31459 County Investment Board Definitions

Key Takeaways

  • •In some counties, a 'board' means a group called the 'board of investments' when talking about certain rules.
  • •For a few specific rules, 'board' can mean both the 'board of retirement' and the 'board of investments'.
  • •In one special part of the law (Article 17), 'board' means a group called the 'Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System'.
  • •If none of the above fits, then 'board' just means the 'board of retirement'.

Example

Imagine your county has a special group that handles money for retirees, called the 'board of investments'.

When the law talks about rules for how this group works, it will call them the 'board' instead of their full name. So if you see the word 'board' in those rules, it’s talking about the 'board of investments'.
