The 1939 General Assembly was greeted with plans retirement systems for teachers, for North Carolina state governmental employees, and for local governmental employees. The 1939 General Assembly enacted a law permitting counties and municipalities to operate state retirement systems such as the Teacher's State Employees Retirement, Law Enforcement Officer's Benefit and Retirement Fund, and local county and city retirement systems.
