STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 08207C1
This legislation exempts members of the Bean Commission from Public Employee Retirement System
of Idaho (PEPSI) membership.
FISCAL IMPACT
This legislation would have a positive overall fiscal impact on state finances since it would relieve the
commission of payment of employer contributions to PERSI. It would also remove the retirement
liability for the bean commissioners.
