Summary
The law lets sheriffs who began their first qualifying job on or after Jan 1 2012, are over 50, and have at least 30 years of creditable service, choose a retirement payout based on an actuarial equivalent of reaching age 55 instead of waiting for deferred retirement. The option becomes effective when the member submits a written application to the board of trustees.
