There are currently 2 Bills before the Minnesota Legislature that MNCORA is supporting. The first is a MNCORA sponsored Bill to add a PERA Corrections Officer to the PERA Executive Board. It is HF4342 and SF4464 . The second is a Bill to raise the high five multiplier from 1.9% to 2.2% in the PERA Correctional Plan, the same as the State MSRS Correctional Plan. It is HF4081 and SF4092 . We encourage you to contact your State Representatives and Senators to support these bills.

Bill  HF4342 authored by Rep. Niska and Scott now has a companion bill in the Senate,  SF4464 authored by Sen. Bahr and co-authored by Sen. Abeler.  MNCORA is thankful for the support of these Representatives and Senators. If passed for the first time a PERA Correctional Officer will have a seat on the PERA Board. The next step is for the Pension Commission to give it a hearing. If it is not heard the bill will die. What can you do? The Chair of the Pension Commission is Representative Her.
