BILL NUMBER:S3402 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to increasing to ten percent the amount of assets of the New York state teachers' retirement system which may be invested in real property PURPOSE OF THE BILL: This bill would increase the percentage of assets which may be invested by public employee retirement systems in real estate under Retirement and social Security Law §177(6) from five to ten percent. SUMMARY AND JUSTIFICATION: Public employee retirement systems may only invest in capital assets to the extent permitted by law. Systems generally rely upon the investment authorizations contained in section 177 of the Retirement and Social Security Law, the so-called "legal list". Over the years, the authorizations in that section have been liberalized to reflect changes in the universe of investable capital assets and trends in institutional investment. The most recent change in the legal list occurred in 1997 with the enactment of Chapter 560 of the Laws of 1997 which made a number of significant changes in the list for the benefit of the systems and public employee members and retirees that they serve.
