Bill Summary

For legislation relative to the active service buy-back program for firefighters and police officers. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow veterans who have creditable service as a firefighter or police officer to purchase creditable service for their active duty in the armed forces of the United States at the same rate as a firefighter or police officer, rather than at the standard rate. This change is being made to the Active Service Buy-Back Program, which allows public sector workers to purchase additional creditable service time towards their retirement based on prior military service.
