Minnesota State Retirement System correctional state employees retirement plan; MSRS correctional plan eligibility work group recommendations implemented, eligible employment positions updated, definitions added, procedures for adding or removing plan coverage modified, right to appeal added, and conforming changes made.

HF 3269 implements recommendations from a work group to update Minnesota's retirement plan for correctional state employees. It expands eligibility to include more specific job roles involving direct contact with inmates or patients in state correctional facilities, forensic programs, or sex offender treatment centers. The bill adds new definitions (like "direct contact" and "custody"), modifies procedures for adding/removing retirement coverage, and introduces a formal right to appeal coverage decisions. These changes affect correctional staff whose duties involve maintaining safety and security in state-operated facilities. The bill amends multiple sections of Minnesota Statutes to reflect these updates.
