What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill permits an annuitant under the Wisconsin Retirement System, who is a member of a retiree organization that is affiliated with an employee organization, to have the Department of Employee Trust Funds (DETF) deduct from the annuitant's annuity monthly voluntary payments for either organization or an entity affiliated with either organization. Under the bill, the secretary of employee trust funds must establish a procedure for deducting monthly voluntary payments and for designating the organizations and affiliated entities eligible to receive the voluntary payments. The procedure must require that DETF, at the request of an organization or affiliated entity, mail to annuitants any printed information and membership materials for the organization or affiliated entity. The organization or affiliated entity must provide DETF the printed information and membership materials and DETF must identify to the organization or affiliated entity the total number of annuitants.
The bill also requires the secretary to charge organizations and affiliated entities that wish to receive monthly voluntary payments a fee to cover all costs for mailing the printed information and membership materials.

Finally, the bill provides that, when remitting deducted voluntary payments to an organization or affiliated entity, the secretary must, for each annuitant from whose annuity voluntary payments are deducted, provide the organization or affiliated entity with the annuitant's name, amount of the deduction, and a unique identifier.
Because this bill relates to public employee retirement or pensions, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Retirement Systems for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
