Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Senate File 162 updates the bill's title and clarifies its purpose regarding the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System's notification requirements. Notably, it removes a requirement for the system to send notices to terminated members about their account balances and options. This change matters because it potentially reduces the level of communication and support that former employees might receive regarding their retirement options, which could affect their financial planning.
