Gov. Parson Signs LAGERS’ Public Safety Personnel Bill

Governor Parson signed SB 17 into law on July 10, 2019.

This legislation enables LAGERS-participating employers in third-class counties and Cape Girardeau county to choose to designate their jailors, EMS personnel, and emergency telecommunicators as public safety personnel with an age 55 normal retirement age. Jailors, EMS personnel, and emergency telecommunicators currently have an age 60 normal retirement age in LAGERS.

This legislation will go into effect on August 28, 2019.
