According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "rehired annuitants. (FE)".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends regulations concerning rehired annuitants under the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS). It allows retired annuitants who return to work with a WRS-participating employer to either suspend their annuity and become a participating employee or continue receiving their annuity without becoming a participating employee. It reduces the waiting period for a WRS participant resuming employment from 75 days to 30 days between terminating employment and returning as a participating employee. Additionally, related statutory sections are repealed to accommodate these changes. This bill requires annuitants with suspended annuities who wish to continue the suspension to notify the Department of Employee Trust Funds within 60 days of the bill's effective date.
The bill was co-authored by Sen. Kelda Roys (Democrat-26th District), Rep. Mike Bare (Democrat-80th District), Rep. Ryan M. Clancy (Democrat-19th District), Rep. Ben DeSmidt (Democrat-65th District), and Rep. Joan Fitzgerald (Democrat-46th District). It was co-sponsored by Sen. Jodi Habush Sinykin (Democrat-8th District), Sen. Dianne H. Hesselbein (Democrat-27th District), and Sen. LaTonya Johnson (Democrat-6th District), along with 16 other co-sponsors.
Clinton M. Anderson has co-authored or authored another 70 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Anderson graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Rock County in 2016 with an AS and again in 2018 from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a BS.
Anderson, a Democrat, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2023 to represent the state's 45th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Mark Spreitzer.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
