A bill for an act relating to contribution rates to the Iowa public employees’ retirement system and the municipal fire and police retirement system.

HF 818 adjusts contribution rates for Iowa's public employees' retirement system (IPERS) and municipal fire/police retirement systems. It reduces employee contributions to 0% for members in protection occupations (fire/police) and sheriff/deputy sheriff roles starting July 1, 2025, shifting the full cost to employers (100% employer contribution). Previously, employees paid a portion (e.g., 9.4% through 2024), but this bill eliminates their required payments for these specific groups. The change applies to both the state IPERS system and municipal fire/police retirement systems.
