UPEA has been very involved at the capitol with various law enforcement groups.
CURE - Cops United for Retirement Equity also known as Utah Law Enforcement Coalition
2/1/10
On Monday, February 1st, CURE (of which UPEA is a member) met to discuss ways in which the group can help defeat the retirement bills that are currently being presented at the legislature. The group decided the best course of action is to work through a coordinated grassroots effort to contact legislators (call and email), ask friends, family members, and neighbors to contact their legislators, and attend the organizing event on Saturday February 6th. By following these actions CURE intends to create a grassroots groundswell that will help defeat any retirement legislation that is on the table.
CURE's stance is the same as UPEA's. They are asking for an independent actuarial study to be conducted prior to any legislation passing.
ULELC - Utah Law Enforcement Legislative Committee
2/1/10
CURE sits on the board of the ULELC. The ULELC is committed to provided position statements to the legislature regarding law enforcement related legislation. On Monday, February 1st, the committee discussed the retirement legislation (SB 42, SB 43, and SB 94). The committee took the position (although not unanimous) to oppose changes to the retirement legislation until the issue can be examined further through an independent study.
