AI Summary
This bill requires employers participating in the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to pay a percentage of the compensation paid to contract workers into the employer's accumulation account, which is a fund for retirement benefits. This applies when the contracted services are typically performed by regular employees and were or are still being performed by active PERS members. The percentage to be paid will be the same as the employer's current contribution rate for regular employees who joined the system before March 1, 2026. This measure aims to ensure that services typically performed by regular employees, even if contracted out, contribute to the retirement system.
