Including standby pay as basic salary in the law enforcement officers' and firefighters' retirement system plan 2.

Summary

The measure changes Washington’s retirement law so that standby pay received by law‑enforcement officers and firefighters counts as part of their basic salary when computing pension benefits under Plan 2. It also specifies that overtime, deferred wages and other regular earnings are included, while lump‑sum leave payouts are excluded. The change could raise retirement contributions and future benefits for those workers.
