What’s in it
AI summary Police officers and firefighters who work for employers other than cities will now be included in a special retirement category under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system. If their employer certifies their work, their previous years of service will also be moved into this protected category without requiring extra payments. This change applies to service members starting July 1, 2017.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that persons employed as a peace officer or fire fighter by a covered employer, and not just a city, under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system (IPERS) are included within the protection occupation category of IPERS. The bill provides that membership service prior to the effective date of the bill shall be reclassified as protection occupation service without payment of any additional contributions to pay the actuarial costs of the reclassified service if the employer certifies the employment as constituting protection occupation service under the bill. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to membership service under IPERS on or after July 1, 2017.
