AI Summary

This bill implements recommendations from the Minnesota State Retirement System (MSRS) correctional plan eligibility work group and makes several significant changes to the state's correctional employees retirement plan. The bill establishes a new correctional plan membership committee to evaluate and determine coverage for various employment positions within state correctional facilities and programs. It introduces detailed definitions for terms like "direct contact," "rehabilitation," and "supervision," and creates a comprehensive process for adding or removing employment positions from the correctional retirement plan. The bill specifies that employees must typically spend at least 75 percent of their working time in direct contact with patients or incarcerated persons to qualify for the plan. It also provides a formal mechanism for employees to appeal coverage determinations, with final decisions made by the commissioner of corrections or the chief executive officer of Direct Care and Treatment. The changes aim to clarify and streamline the eligibility requirements for the correctional employees retirement plan, ensuring that only employees with significant direct interaction in correctional or treatment settings are covered. The bill will be effective January 1, 2026, and repeals several existing subdivisions related to covered correctional service.
