“At a time when public pensions are wreaking havoc on state and school district budgets, it’s especially egregious that taxpayers are continuing to fund the pensions of public employees who commit felonies on the job,” says Senator John DiSanto. The problem, he says, is a "loophole" in the Pension Forfeiture Act of 1978; it doesn't require convicted employees to send court records to the state pension boards. His bill would ensure such reports, and would strip public employees who commit job-related felonies of their taxpayer-funded pensions.
