Summary

The bill spells out which counties, cities and other public agencies can join Maryland's Employees, Law Enforcement and Correctional pension plans. It adds rules that all workers in those agencies must enroll, that a 60% petition is needed, and that contribution rates must match the state system. The changes take effect on July 1 after the agency votes to join, with a later start if paperwork is late.
