Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the employe trust funds board (board) directs and
supervises the department of employe trust funds. The board consists of 12
members: the governor or the governor's designee on the group insurance board, the
secretary of employment relations or the secretary's designee, 4 members from the
teachers retirement board, 4 members from the Wisconsin retirement board, one
member who is not a participant or beneficiary under the Wisconsin retirement
system (WRS) and one member who is an annuitant under the WRS.
This bill increases the board to 13 members, requiring that one member be
elected who is a participant under the WRS and who is a school district employe, but
who is not a teacher or professional employe.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
