Summary
The bill lets cities employ firefighters who have retired after at least 20 years of service, as long as they meet specific retirement‑system requirements. Hired retirees can work for a year at a time, receive city pay, and retain their existing pension and health coverage, while cities generally do not have to make additional retirement or health‑plan contributions. It also sets limits on how many retirees a city may hire and clarifies pension payment rules during reemployment.
