The Senate unanimously approved Senate Bill 113, which amends the Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act to impose pension and benefit forfeiture on any public official or employee found guilty, pleading guilty or no contest to a crime related to their government position.
La medida se aplica a delitos graves o punibles con más de cinco años de prisión.
Antes, sólo algunos delitos podían dar lugar a la confiscación de la pensión. Los funcionarios acusados eludían la pena de confiscación llegando a acuerdos de culpabilidad por delitos que no figuraban en la ley de confiscación.
Senate Bill 113 became Act 1 of 2019.

The department would no longer fund search and rescue operations, organ transport related educational materials and equipment.
The bill was referred to the House Veteran Affairs and Emergency Preparedness committee.
