AN ACT relating to hazardous duty coverage in the Kentucky Employees Retirement System.

This bill would update the definition of "hazardous position" in Kentucky's employee retirement system to include forensic lab and crime scene personnel working in the Department of Kentucky State Police. If approved, these employees would qualify for hazardous duty retirement coverage, which typically comes with different contribution rates and retirement benefits than standard coverage. The change recognizes the nature of the work performed by these state employees. Who it may affect: Kentucky State Police forensic lab and crime scene personnel, and state pension system members more broadly given the actuarial implications.
