Seminar for International Students Held in Bannock County
Suzanne Johnson, Trial Court Administrator for the Sixth Judicial District, reports that Idaho State University, Bannock County Prosecutors, and the Courts held a seminar for International students to review infractions, traffic misdemeanors, general misdemeanors, and felonies. An emphasis was placed on the need for a driver's license, registration, and insurance and the consequences for breaking the laws. Those in attendance were able to ask questions, which resulted in great discussions.

Reminder: The Base Plan annual statement should not be confused with Choice 401(k) Plan statements. NCPERS Open Enrollment PERSI members who are actively at work are eligible to purchase additional term life insurance through NCPERS. Assuring adequate Life Insurance cover-age is an important part of financial planning.
