What’s in it

AI summary People working as emergency management coordinators or public safety dispatchers would be moved into a special category of the Iowa public employees' retirement system. This change would apply to their past work years as well, as long as their employer confirms they were doing that type of job. This reclassification happens without requiring the employees to pay extra money into the retirement system.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that persons employed as a public safety telecommunicator or as an emergency management coordinator under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system (IPERS) shall be 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.
