What we’re about

Arkansans for Pension Integrity is a statewide campaign for transparent, financially sound stewardship of public retirement money. Teachers, public employees, retirees, and taxpayers should be able to see the financial reasoning behind major pension decisions.

Arkansas agencies put at least $65 million into completed Israel Bonds purchases. ATRS separately moved $50 million into a manager account created for the same strategy. Those decisions show why Arkansas needs a consistent written process for weighing credit risk, liquidity, alternatives, and the interests of pension members.

The Pension Investment Integrity Act would establish that process for every covered purchase and publish the work after the transaction. Pension trustees would keep full authority over the investment decision. In June 2026, Citizens First Congress selected pension investment integrity as a short-term priority for the 2027 legislative session.
