Committee advances bill restoring employer contribution model for several public safety and judicial retirement systems
House Bill 85, carried as a committee bill from the State Administration and Veterans Affairs Interim Committee, would reinstate the employer contribution rates and model for the judges’, highway patrol, sheriffs’ and game wardens’ retirement systems and would reinstate a statutory appropriation for the highway patrol, committee staff explained during executive action.

An amendment (HB0085.001.001) was moved and passed that removed retroactive applicability for the judges’ retirement system only; the change left the reinstated model and statutory appropriation in place for the highway patrol, sheriffs and game wardens. Committee staff said the amendment responded to concerns raised during the hearing about budgetary impacts for judges.

The committee approved the amendment by voice vote and later moved the bill as amended. The committee passed House Bill 85 as amended; representatives also recorded a proxy vote noting Representative Running Wolf voted aye by proxy.
