AI Summary

This bill classifies county jailers as protective occupation participants under the Wisconsin Retirement System, which means they will receive the same retirement benefits as police officers and firefighters. The bill also specifies how the employee and employer contributions for county jailers will be treated. Additionally, the bill states that county jailers are generally considered general municipal employees under the Municipal Employment Relations Act, except for certain counties that already classify them as public safety employees. The bill provides a 60-day window for current county jailers to opt out of the protective occupation participant classification if they choose. The bill takes effect on January 1 after publication.
