This bill would change how the Kentucky Employees Retirement System calculates a member's official start date when that person was hired under an educational contract as a conditional state employee. Currently, certain date restrictions limit when that membership can begin, and this bill would remove those restrictions so the membership date can go back to the earliest date of the original contract. This could affect how retirement benefits are calculated for those individuals. Who it may affect: Kentucky state employees who were hired under educational contracts as conditional employees and are enrolled in the Kentucky Employees Retirement System.
