• Review the adequacy of the state's monitoring of local retirement systems.

• Consider a general policy for the state regarding the re-employment of people who have retired under a state retirement plan.

• Review the need for multiple cash and reduced annuity options such as lump sum and "DROP" plans.

• Conduct active oversight of the agencies under the committee's jurisdiction.
