Modifying disability and retirement benefits and procedures for municipal police and firefighters

Signed into LawFiled Feb 3, 2026
Sponsor: Mike Oliverio (R)
Latest Action

Chapter 204, Acts, Regular Session, 2026

Jun 25, 2026

Summary

The bill lets police officers and firefighters who are disabled while on duty, and who have 21‑30 years of service, apply for a regular retirement pension once they turn 50, treating them as if they had reached retirement age. It also removes the requirement for those disabled off duty to submit tax returns after they reach normal Social Security retirement age. The changes affect how disability pensions are calculated and offset with other earnings.
