What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
