School police pension matters.

Summary

The measure changes the definition of a school resource officer and permits school police departments to participate in the state’s 1977 police and firefighters pension and disability fund. It also allows a veteran with at least 20 years of service to bypass the usual age cap for pension eligibility, and requires schools that hire SROs to contract with a local law‑enforcement agency for reporting and payment. The changes aim to expand pension coverage for school police while addressing staffing shortages.
