Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would change how the start date of retirement system membership is calculated for certain state employees who began their state careers through educational contracts. Under the change, eligible members could have their retirement benefits calculated from the earliest date of their educational contract, rather than a later date. This could affect how long someone is considered to have been a member of the Kentucky Employees Retirement System, which may influence their retirement benefits. Who it may affect: state employees who entered state government service through educational contracts as conditional employees.
