DESCRIPTION

The proposal would provide that any person holding elective state office or who has retired from an elective office who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony crime involving misconduct in office or a crime in any way related to the duties of the person's office shall forfeit all rights to any retirement benefits accrued for service rendered in such elective state office. The provisions would apply to persons convicted of a crime which occurred after August 28, 1998.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
