Relating to: service award program. (FE)

AB 691 amends Wisconsin's service award program for volunteer emergency responders, including fire fighters and emergency medical personnel. It increases the required service years for full benefits from 15 to 20 years, with eligibility also requiring age 60. For those with 10-20 years of service who are age 53-59 (but under 60), the bill creates a reduced payout option, calculated by the department but less than the full amount. The department must establish rules to implement these changes, affecting how volunteer emergency responders receive retirement benefits.
