Previously, the Budget & Control Board made the investment decisions as they were advised by the Retirement System Advisory Panel. Last year the legislature created the Retirement Investment Commission. This new commission has 5 members with the State Treasurer serving ex-officio. The old Retirement System Advisory Panel is no longer necessary, therefore the constitution no longer needs to define it.
