Summary

The bill lets municipalities or their subdivisions that employ paid police and fire departments switch from the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Retirement System to the Municipal Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement System (MPFRS). Only officers and firefighters hired on or after July 1, 2015 can choose to transfer, and the municipality must decide by July 1, 2027.
