This bill allows certain Michigan state employees in law enforcement roles to voluntarily switch their retirement plans from the general state system to the Michigan State Police retirement system. Eligible workers, including corrections officers and conservation officers, can make this change by submitting a written election between January 2, 2025, and June 6, 2025. If a participant chooses to switch, the change becomes permanent on June 7, 2025, and they will no longer be part of the original retirement plan. The law requires that married employees obtain their spouse's signature on the election form, though exceptions may be made for special circumstances.
