CalSTRS holds two regulatory hearings on compensation and administrative remedies; no public comments
Summary
CalSTRS held two public hearings on proposed amendments to credible compensation and administrative remedy regulations; staff recorded no oral comments at either hearing and will publish additional written comment periods and make non‑substantive updates as needed.
Joycelyn Martinez Wade, CalSTRS director of governmental relations, opened two scheduled regulatory hearings on Sept. 4 covering updates to credible compensation regulations (to implement AB 1997) and proposed changes to the administrative remedy process (to reflect AB 1667 changes and related Government Code sections).
On the credible compensation rulemaking, Wade summarized numerous Education Code and California Code of Regulations sections targeted for amendment and said the changes update contribution file layouts and employer electronic reporting formats. "Since there were no comments at today's hearing and if we do not receive any written comments, we expect to make only a non‑substantive change to the regulatory language," she told the room.
The second hearing updated administrative remedy regulations to clarify steps for disputing CalSTRS staff determinations and expand notice requirements for those affected by final audit reports. Wade said no members of the public were present to offer oral or written comment at that time and that an additional 15‑day written comment period would be noticed.
Also at the meeting Wade presented a first reading of board election regulation updates (electronic submission, electronic signatures, removal of certain sensitive data, and gender‑neutral language). Trustees requested additional review and the draft will return to the board in November if revised.
What’s next: Staff will post additional written comment periods where required, make any non‑substantive edits identified, and return election regulation language and any amended rulemaking documents to the board in November as needed.
