HB 2771: State retirement systems

Addressing employer and employee relationships under the state retirement systems.

Summary

  • Clarifies that a governmental contractor legal entity is not an employer for purposes of the Washington State Retirement Systems, and that employees of governmental contractors are not eligible for state retirement system membership.
  • Limits the determination of whether an employer-employee relationship exists solely to the relationship between a government contractor's employee and a retirement system employer, and not the relationship between a government contractor and a retirement system employer.
  • States the act shall apply solely to eligibility for state-sponsored pension plans, and have no application to the Supreme Court of Washington 's ruling in Dolan v. King County , Cause No. 82842-3.
