Public employee retirement plan-contributions.

SF 187 increases retirement contribution rates for Wyoming public employees and their employers. It raises employee contributions to 9.5% of salary (from 9.25%) and employer contributions to 9.62% (from 9.37%) for most state workers, with firefighters at 7% employee and 7.12% employer contributions. The bill allocates $1.74 million from the general fund and $3.41 million from school funds to cover the higher employer costs, with payments deducted from employee paychecks and transferred monthly. These changes apply to state government employees, judges, firefighters, and school district workers for fiscal year 2026.
