Legislation

PERA operates by authority of the Colorado General Assembly and is administered under Title 24, Article 51 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. The primary purpose is to provide benefits and programs as specified by state law, and the Board of Trustees oversees the administration of these benefits and programs, as established by the state legislature. Any changes must go through the legislative process and be signed into law by the Governor.
