Ten lawmakers are sponsoring a bill that offers early retirement to state and University of Wyoming employees as state leaders look to save money in the face of a large budget shortfall.
Nearly 2,000 employees would qualify for early retirement under Senate File 95. Workers would qualify based on a formula that considers their age and years of service, said Sen. Curt Meier, R-LaGrange, the legislation’s primary sponsor.
There are just under 8,000 employees who work for the state of Wyoming. At the University of Wyoming, there are 3,000 employees.
