Police Officer Retirement System

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the South Carolina Police Officer Retirement System that pays a one‑time benefit to the designated beneficiary of a non‑vested officer who dies while performing duty‑related hazards. The benefit equals the greater of the officer’s accumulated contributions or $75,000, unless the death is due to the officer’s wilful negligence, suicide, or self‑inflicted injury. It is intended to give financial support to families of officers who have not yet earned full retirement benefits.
