Judicial retirement program-contributions.
This bill increases required contributions for Wyoming judicial employees under the Judicial Retirement Act. Starting July 1, 2024, judges and court staff must contribute 11.47% of their salary (up from 9.22%), while employers must cover 7.47% of the contribution without deducting from pay. The bill appropriates $420,000 from the general fund to the Supreme Court to help cover the increased costs, with funds reverting if unspent by June 2026. It also reduces employees' cash salary by 4% after June 2024 to offset the higher contribution rates. The changes apply directly to state judicial employees covered by the retirement program.
