Generally revise laws related to the administration of MPERA
HB 62 generally revises laws related to the administration of public employee retirement systems (MPERA). It clarifies rules for disability retirement, including when benefits can begin and that duty-related benefits do not automatically convert to normal retirement at age. The bill assesses interest on payroll reporting errors that require retroactive contributions and allows for prorating service purchases if installment payments cease. Additionally, it revises definitions of "allowance" and "compensation," aligns working retiree limits across various systems, and updates required minimum distribution rules to comply with federal law, affecting public employees and retirees in these systems.

MINOR
The bill text lists the same statutory sections as before, but the formatting of the list has been altered. The change removes a line break and adjusts the spacing around the word 'AND', making the list of affected laws continuous rather than split across lines.
TECHNICAL
The formatting of the list of cited statutes was adjusted to remove a line break and normalize spacing, but no substantive policy, scope, or legal requirements were changed.
