This bill proposes several administrative changes to the statutes governing retirement plans administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System. Key provisions include clarifying that correctional employees will remain in the correctional employees retirement plan while working for a labor organization, and allowing current deputy fire marshals to elect coverage under the state fire marshals subplan. The bill also modifies application procedures for retirement annuities and enrollment procedures in the state fire marshals subplan. Additionally, it specifies that the correctional plan membership committee is not subject to open meeting laws and certain agency appointment requirements.

Significant amendments include the addition of new language to clarify the eligibility and election processes for state employees covered by either the general state employees retirement plan or the correctional employees retirement plan. The bill repeals a previous provision regarding the election of coverage for state fire marshal division employees and establishes a new process for current deputy fire marshals to elect coverage retroactively. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2026.
