AI Summary

This bill provides service credit for members of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) who were previously members of the Transit Employees' Retirement Program (TERP) of the New Jersey Transit Corporation on or before July 30, 2006. Under the bill, PERS members with prior TERP service will receive one year of PERS service credit for every 3.5 years of TERP service, provided the TERP program transfers the member and employer contributions for those years of service to PERS. This allows PERS members to count their prior TERP service towards PERS retirement benefits, as long as the necessary funds are transferred from TERP.
