Bill > HB106

This bill allows certain retired law enforcement officers in New Mexico to return to work for affiliated public employers under certain conditions. The key provisions are: 1) Retired law enforcement officers who retired on or before December 31, 2021 can return to work as certified law enforcement officers for affiliated public employers after a 90-day break in service, without suspending their pension benefits or accruing additional service credit. 2) During the period of subsequent employment, the retired officer and their employer must make the required contributions, but the officer will not become a member of the retirement system or accrue additional service credit. 3) The subsequent employment must be in an entry-level or civilian law enforcement position and must occur before July 1, 2027. 4) The bill also makes some technical changes to the existing law regarding the calculation of pension benefits for members with service credit in multiple retirement plans.
