Bill > HB1174

This bill amends South Dakota law to classify full-time 911 telecommunicators as "Class B members" of the South Dakota Retirement System (SDRS), a state-administered retirement plan. Class B members generally include public safety and judicial personnel who may have different contribution or benefit structures compared to other members. Specifically, the bill adds "full-time 911 telecommunicator" to the list of professions that qualify for Class B membership, provided that if the telecommunicator is employed by a local government (a political subdivision of the state), that local government must adopt an ordinance specifically designating 911 telecommunicators as Class B members. The bill also clarifies the definition of a "911 telecommunicator" for the purposes of these retirement system provisions and related statutes, defining it as any employee of the state or a political subdivision whose main duties involve receiving, processing, and transmitting information from a 911 emergency system.
