The Integrity Act would require a public financial case for covered pension investments.
For the teacher planning retirement. The public employee building a future. Everyone owed an explanation of how their pension money is invested.
Arkansas public records show pension money committed to Israel Bonds. Each decision deserves a financial explanation that connects risk, return, alternatives, and the ability to exit.
Two Israel Bond positions in the September custody report. The original $15 million purchase remains a distinct historical event.
A completed Israel Bond purchase on February 17. The July account report independently identifies the position.
These figures have different record dates and measurement contexts. See the sources and definitions.
The September production changes the APERS account from the previously documented $15 million purchase to two positions totaling $25 million.
Our findings link to the source, identify its date, and explain what it can establish. A holding report answers one question. The financial case for the decision answers another.
The Integrity Act would put five requirements around covered pension investments. Trustees set the rules and oversee managers. Members get the financial explanation.

Explain restrictions on selling or transferring the investment before maturity.
Explain why this investment, at these terms, serves members' financial interests before committing.
Publish the record within 30 calendar days of the binding commitment. Show whether the transaction has settled and explain any lawful redactions.
