97C.20 REFERENDA BY GOVERNOR.
With respect to employees of the state the governor is empowered
to authorize a referendum, and with respect to the employees of any
political subdivision the governor shall authorize a referendum upon
request of the governing body of such subdivision; and in either case
the referendum shall be conducted, and the governor shall designate
an agency or individual to supervise its conduct, in accordance with
the requirements of section 218 "d" (3) of the Social Security Act,
on the question of whether service in positions covered by a
retirement system established by the state or by a political
subdivision thereof should be excluded from or included under an
agreement under this chapter. The notice of referendum required by
section 218 "d" (3) (C) of the Social Security Act to be given to
employees shall contain or shall be accomplished by a statement, in
such form and such detail as the agency or individual designated to
supervise the referendum shall deem necessary and sufficient, to
inform the employees of the rights which will accrue to them and
their dependents and survivors, and the liabilities to which they
will be subject, if their services are included under an agreement
under this chapter.
Upon receiving evidence satisfactory to the governor that with
respect to any such referendum the conditions specified in section
218 "d" (3) of the Social Security Act have been met, the governor
shall so certify to the secretary of health and human services. Section History: Early Form
