BACKGROUND
The Public Employees' Retirement System (P.E.R.S.) Health Benefits Division has
informed us that because we have individuals enrolled in the P.E.R.S. medical
plans who are not Retirement System members, we must adopt a resolution
addressing this situation. The adoption of this resolution will formally allow
those members who enrolled in P.E.R.S. health plans, however, opted out of the
retirement benefits, to continue to receive medical benefits.
This resolution has been prepared according to the format provided by P.E.R.S.
and is to be effective retroactive to September 1, 1990 per their instruction.
