Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Mandates retirement class for regional counsel supervisors.

Assistant regional counsel supervisors must join the Senior Management Service Class starting July 1, 2026. This makes their retirement benefits compulsory rather than optional.

The state appropriates $950,000 in recurring funds for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to pay these new retirement benefits.

Supervisors may purchase additional retirement credit for service dating back to October 1, 2007, but employers cannot buy this credit for them.
