This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1779) proposes changes to the state's retirement system for probation agency employees. Specifically, it seeks to:

• Authorize an unreduced early retirement annuity for probation agency employees, allowing them to retire early without a reduction in benefits.
• Increase employee contributions to the retirement system for probation agency employees, beginning on January 1, 2026.
• Define "probation agency employee" to include probation officers, supervisory officers, supervisory staff, or program managers who provide or oversee community supervision services.

The bill amends multiple sections of Minnesota Statutes (including 352.01, 352.04, 352.116, 353.01, 353.27, and 353.30) to implement these changes. It has been referred to the Committee on State Government Finance and Policy for further consideration.
