Annotations

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL State deferred compensation plan is in addition to any other retirement, pension, or other benefit provided by law. Accordingly, if there is authority for any other tax sheltered annuity plan or

other benefits by law, it would not conflict with these statutory provisions and both plans could continue. 1980 Op. Att’y Gen. No. 80-6.
