Modifying disability and retirement benefits and procedures for municipal police and firefighters
Chapter 204, Acts, Regular Session, 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.
