Retirement Bills in Retrospect

The Utah Public Employees' Association is proud that its members and supporters have fought hard for the retirement system. UPEA members have had the courage and conviction to stand up for a system that has served them well. Our members have stood up for employees who will guide UPEA and public service for generations.

Although UPEA does not support 2nd Sub SB 43 and 3rd Sub SB 63, we support the amendments and truly appreciate the hard work that has gone into the bills. UPEA would like to thank Senator Daniel Liljenquist and Representative Brad Dee for facilitating negotiations.

In our gratitude, UPEA would especially like to thank Representatives Jim Dunnigan, Wayne Harper, Ronda Menlove, Stephen Sandstrom and Mel Brown for their exceptional commitment to protecting the retirement system. The Senate and House Democrats have also been strong supporters for public employees.
