Public Employees Retirement Association provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) rules to clarify who must join retirement plans. It requires that the $425 monthly salary threshold for mandatory coverage be set in advance, affects public employees earning above that amount (including elected officials who must now formally elect coverage), and adds a 60-day deadline for filing membership forms. It also clarifies how disability benefits apply to correctional workers in local government retirement plans. These changes apply to all covered public employees and officials starting July 1, 2025.
