Introduced
by
To include Department of Human Services juvenile justice employees in the same Department of Corrections “covered” positions category as prison guards, which makes them eligible for a supplemental pension at age 51 with 25 years on the job, or at age 56 with 10 years. At age 62, these employees begin to receive a straight life pension like those of other state employees.
