§ 352.90 — Policy

Plain-Language Summary

This section states the legislature's policy for providing special retirement benefits to correctional employees. The policy recognizes that correctional workers may need to retire earlier because the physical and mental demands of working with incarcerated persons and certain patients can reduce their capacity to perform the job safely.

Practical Notes
The state recognizes that working in corrections is demanding work that may require earlier retirement. This policy statement is the foundation for the enhanced retirement benefits available to correctional employees under sections 352.91 through 352.955.
