Minnesota State Retirement System; legislators permitted to elect coverage by the general state employees retirement plan.

HF 3449 allows Minnesota legislators to choose coverage under the general state employees retirement plan instead of the current legislative retirement system. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to explicitly include "members of the legislature who elect under section 352D.02, subdivision 3" as eligible for the general retirement plan. This change provides legislators with a new option for their retirement benefits without altering existing coverage for other state employees. The bill focuses solely on expanding election options for legislators, not creating new benefits or changing contribution requirements.
