2 AAC 36.280
Effective 7/20/2006, Register 179, the Department of Administration readopted 2 AAC 36.280, without change, to affirm the validity of that section following statutory amendments made in ch. 9, FSSLA 2005. Chapter 9, FSSLA 2005 eliminated the Teachers' Retirement Board, and largely transferred the board's authority to adopt regulations in 2 AAC 36 to the commissioner of administration.
