Summary

The bill permits judges, justices and other members of state retirement systems who qualify as veterans to add military service time toward their retirement benefits. To receive the credit, they must pay a sum equal to 10% of their annual salary for each year of service they wish to credit, with a maximum of four years, and must do so within the timing rules set out in the amendment. The change is intended to give veterans equitable access to pension credit for Guard and reserve service.
