PERS; certain education majors shall be considered as if they are Tier 4 members if employed by a public school district after graduation.

Summary

The proposal would treat anyone who was an education major during 2024‑2026 and who starts a public‑school teaching job on or after March 1 2026 (within six months of graduation) as if they had joined the state retirement system between July 1 2011 and March 1 2026, granting them Tier 4 benefits. It amends several sections of the Mississippi Code to make this change. The measure failed, dying in committee.
