SB 5159: State patrol retirement

Authorizing the transfer of service credit and contributions into the Washington state patrol retirement system by members who served as commercial vehicle enforcement officers and communications officers and then became commissioned troopers in the Washington state patrol.

Summary

  • Permits active members of the Washington State Patrol Retirement System (WSPRS) who were previously either (1) Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers and that became commissioned officers on or before July 16, 2000, or (2) Communications Officers who became commissioned officers, to transfer service credits earned in the Public Employees' Retirement System Plan 2 (PERS) to WSPRS.
  • Requires an employee transferring credits to pay the difference between the employee and employer contributions that were paid to PERS and that would have been paid to WSPRS, and any other amount, to ensure that the funding status of WSPRS does not change due to the transfer.
