What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill allows a protective occupation participant in the Wisconsin Retirement System who is at least 50 years of age, which is the minimum retirement age for a protective occupation participant, and who is also a part-time elected official to waive further participation in the WRS for his or her current and future service as a part-time elected official, after he or she terminates all of his or her other covered employment. The waiver allows the protective occupation participant to receive a retirement benefit while he or she is serving as a part-time elected official.
Under current law, a WRS participant who is at least 55 years of age, which is the minimum retirement age for a participant who is not a protective occupation participant, and who is also a part-time elected official is allowed to waive participation in the WRS for his or her current and future service as a part-time elected official after he or she terminates all of his or her other covered employment.
