Bill Summary
Includes certain law enforcement administrators and employees of the Department of Law Enforcement as class A members of the pension and retirement systems and provides guidance for the computation of retirement benefits similar to police officers.
AI Summary
This bill expands the definition of "class A members" within the state's pension and retirement systems to include certain administrators and employees of the department of law enforcement, specifically defining "sheriff" as the administrator of the sheriff division and "sheriff division investigator" as a regularly employed investigator with police powers. It also adjusts employee and employer contribution rates and retirement benefit calculations to align these new class A members with the provisions previously applied to police officers and other similar law enforcement roles, ensuring their retirement benefits are computed similarly, with these changes taking effect on July 1, 2026.
