House Bill No. by Representative Bacala aims to enhance the retirement education provided to municipalities that employ municipal police officers under the Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System (MPERS). The bill mandates that the MPERS board of trustees develop and deliver annual retirement education at no cost to the municipalities, which must include key topics such as employer participation requirements, reporting obligations, and the interaction between MPERS and the federal Social Security program. The education can be presented either in-person or virtually, and specific municipal officials, including the chief executive officer, payroll officer, and chief of police, are required to complete at least one hour of this education each calendar year.

Additionally, the bill establishes a compliance framework where the MPERS board must assess each municipality's adherence to the education requirements by January 31st annually and certify their compliance status. Noncompliant municipalities will receive written notice by March 1st and have 60 days to rectify their compliance issues. If they fail to do so, the board may impose additional education requirements, enhanced reporting, or note the noncompliance in the system's records. The board is also tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement these provisions in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
