Art. 6228j. RETIREMENT, DISABILITY AND DEATH BENEFIT SYSTEMS 
FOR APPOINTIVE COUNTY EMPLOYEES.  (a) A county may create a 
retirement, disability, and death benefit system for its appointive

county voting on the proposition approve the creation at an 
election called for that purpose and advertised in at least one 
newspaper of general circulation in the county once a week for four 
consecutive weeks before the election is held.  Each member of a 
system shall contribute to the system an amount determined by the 
county, but not more than five percent of the member's annual 
compensation paid by the county.  The county shall contribute for 
each member an equal amount.
	(b)  The assets of a county system, after a sufficient 
portion is set aside each year to pay benefits as they accrue, shall 
be invested in bonds issued or guaranteed by the United States, this 
state, or counties or cities of this state.
