Abstract
(SB1135 · 103rd Legislature) Retirement: state employees; membership in the retirement system of certain law enforcement officers first hired after certain date; provide for, and allow for purchasing service credit for certain law enforcement officers’ service under the state employees’ retirement system. Amends 1986 PA 182 (MCL 38.1601 - 38.1674) & adds secs. 24c, 24d, 24e & 24f. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1133’26, SB 1134’26 Sponsor: Sen. Sue Shink (D) + 2 co-sponsors Latest action (2026-08-12): Senate Co-sponsor(s) Named: Mallory Mcmorrow
Why this matters
The change would expand which law enforcement officers can accrue benefits under the State Employees’ Retirement System and let them buy credit for prior service, affecting long-term pension costs to the state and retirement outcomes for affected officers. Because it is tie-barred to SB 1133’26 and SB 1134’26, it is part of a coordinated package restructuring law-enforcement retirement membership across Michigan’s public pension systems.
