Overview
This bill changes the classification of emergency medical dispatchers to include them as peace officers under Alaska’s public employees’ retirement system. Currently, dispatchers in police and fire departments, as well as those in state trooper offices, are not covered by this retirement system. The legislation amends state law to reflect this change, ensuring these dispatchers receive the same retirement benefits as other peace officers and firefighters. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2026.
