§88-219  Referendum.  With respect to
any state retirement system to which this part applies or to any retirement
system of a political subdivision whose governing body so requests, the
governor is empowered to authorize a referendum, and 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 part.  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 accompanied by a statement, in such form and such detail as the
agency or the 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 part.  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. [L 1957, c 284, §10; Supp, §6-195.5;
