. (a) The board shall establish an ombudsman position to serve
as an advocate for the members of the Defined Benefit Program and
participants of the Cash Balance Benefit Program. The duties of the
ombudsman position shall include reviewing and making recommendations
to the chief executive officer regarding complaints by school
employees, members, employee organizations, the Legislature, or the
public regarding actions of the employees of the system.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the salary of the
position of ombudsman be offset, as much as possible, through savings
realized from a reduction in interest payments on delinquent
benefits to members, and through a more efficient and improved public
relations program.
