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, four members from
the teachers retirement board, four 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 14 members, requiring the appointment of two
additional members: a member who is a participant under the WRS and who is a
school district employe, but who is not a teacher; and a member who is a participant
under the WRS and who is a technical college district employe, but who is not a
teacher.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
