This bill proposes changes to retirement benefits for probation agency employees in Minnesota by:

1. Allowing Unreduced Early Retirement - Probation agency employees would be eligible to retire early with full benefits.
2. Increasing Employee Contributions - Contributions from probation agency employees to their retirement funds would increase starting January 1, 2026.
3. Defining "Probation Agency Employee" - This includes probation officers, supervisory staff, and program managers who provide or oversee community supervision services.

The bill seeks to amend sections of Minnesota Statutes (2024) related to public employee retirement (Sections 352.01, 352.04, 352.116, 353.01, 353.27, and 353.30) to accommodate these changes. The bill has been introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on State Government Finance and Policy for further review.
