HB 4666 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Retirement: state employees; election process to transfer certain law enforcement officers to the Michigan state police retirement system; provide for. Amends sec. 55 of 1943 PA 240 (MCL 38.55) & adds secs. 50b, 50c, 50d, 64a, 64b & 64c.

This bill allows certain Michigan state employees in law enforcement roles to voluntarily switch from their current retirement plan to the Michigan State Police retirement system. Between August 4, 2025, and October 17, 2025, eligible workers can submit a written, irrevocable election to make this change, with the transfer taking effect on January 3, 2026. The process requires the signature of the employee's spouse unless waived for special circumstances, and it applies specifically to corrections officers, conservation officers, and state police members who meet specific criteria. Employees who do not submit an election during the designated window will remain in their existing retirement plans.
