HB1291DeadGovernment Operations
classify 911 telecommunicators as Class B members of the South Dakota Retirement System.
This bill moves 911 telecommunicators into the Class B membership category of South Dakota's state retirement system, which likely provides them with enhanced retirement benefits similar to other public safety workers. The change means 911 dispatchers will now be treated like firefighters and other emergency personnel for retirement purposes rather than being classified as regular state employees.
