(b) To achieve the purposes set forth in subdivision (a), the board shall have all powers reasonably necessary to invest the assets associated with, and to administer and implement the provisions of, the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013, to the extent and with the same effect as if the provisions of the act are contained in the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. All laws governing the investment of the retirement fund, and the organization, procedures, and administrative duties and responsibilities of the board shall be applicable to the board in its administration of the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013, to the extent these laws are not in conflict with, or are not inconsistent with, the act. If the board determines that there is a conflict between the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 and the Public Employees’ Retirement Law, the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 shall control. (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to amend, supersede, limit, or extend the application of the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013.
