While only the Public Employees Retirement System Board has the authority to adopt, modify or repeal PERS administrative rules, the rulemaking process provides an opportunity for public input in crafting public policy. PERS ensures that members, employers and stakeholders are involved in the rulemaking process. To encourage this participation, PERS offers online access to the rulemaking process.
PERS follows Oregon’s rulemaking process as defined by state law (the Administrative Procedures Act, ORS 183.325 to 183.410) and the Model Rules of Procedure (OAR 137-001).
