Iowa HJR2011 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to protect accrued benefits in public retirement systems.

Iowa HJR2011 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa to establish that membership in an employee retirement system of the state or a political subdivision is an enforceable contractual relationship. The amendment ensures that the accrued benefits of such membership cannot be diminished or impaired, in accordance with the existing constitutional prohibition on laws impairing obligations of contracts.
