AN ACT relating to retirement benefits for employees participating in hazardous positions in the County Employees Retirement System.

Summary

Starting July 1, 2027, a county employer participating in the County Employees Retirement System can make a one‑time, irrevocable election to provide the older Tier II benefit package to workers in hazardous jobs who would otherwise receive Tier III benefits. Eligible employees have 30 days to make a matching irrevocable election, converting their post‑2014 service to Tier II credit. The change is meant to give hazardous‑position staff the retirement terms that applied before 2014, with the employer covering any extra actuarial costs.
