This bill amends definitions and contribution requirements for certain roles within the public employees retirement system in North Dakota.

  • N.D.C.C. § 54-52-01

    8. "Firefighter" means a participating member who is employed as a firefighter by the state or a political subdivision and, notwithstanding subsection 1314, for an individual employed after July 31, 2017, is employed at least thirty-two hours per week and at least twenty weeks each year of employment. A firefighter who is a participating member of the law enforcement retirement plan created by this chapter who begins employment after July 31, 2017, is ineligible to participate concurrently in any other retirement plan administered by the public employees retirement system. The term does not include a firefighter employee of the North Dakota national guard.

    This adds a definition for 'Firefighter' that outlines employment conditions and restrictions on participation in other retirement plans.

  • N.D.C.C. § 54-52-06.4

    Each firefighter or peace officer employed by the state, other than a peace officer employed by the bureau of criminal investigation, who is a member of the public employees retirement system is assessed and shall pay six percent of the employee's monthly salary. → Each firefighter or peace officer employed by the state, other than a peace officer employed by the bureau of criminal investigation, who is a member of the public employees retirement system is assessed and shall pay six percent of the employee's monthly salary.

    This reaffirms the contribution rate for firefighters and certain peace officers employed by the state.

  • N.D.C.C. § 54-52-17

    3. Retirement dates are defined as follows: a. Normal retirement date, except for a national guard security officer or firefighter, a firefighter employed by a political subdivision, a firefighter or peace officer employed by the state, or a peace officer or correctional officer employed by a political subdivision, is: (1) The first day of the month next following the month in which the member attains the age of sixty-five years; or (2) When the member has a combined total of years of service credit and years of age equal to eighty-five and has not received a retirement benefit under this chapter.

    This clarifies the definition of 'normal retirement date' for various categories of retirement plan members.

  • N.D.C.C. § 54-52-17

    4. The board shall calculate retirement benefits as follows: a. Normal retirement benefits for all retirees, except supreme and district court judges, and peace officers employed by the bureau of criminal investigation, and other peace officers employed by the state, reaching normal retirement date equal an annual amount, payable monthly, comprised of a service benefit and a prior service benefit, as defined in this chapter, which is determined as follows: (1) For members first enrolled: (a) Before January 1, 2020, service benefit equals two percent of final average salary multiplied by the number of years of service employment. (b) After December 31, 2019, service benefit equals one and seventy-five hundredths percent of final average salary multiplied by the number of years of service.

    This amends the calculation method for retirement benefits, setting different criteria based on enrollment dates.
