Bill Summary
This bill establishes eligibility in the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for county fire instructors employed and enrolled before November 1, 2008, who performed service as a county fire instructor in each calendar year of membership, who received a salary greater than $1,500 annually, and who were permanent career service employees in the civil service. The bill provides for any person who had membership in the retirement system terminated within two years prior to enactment may be reenrolled as long as they repay any returned contributions and interest. This bill would address the situation of county fire instructors who were enrolled in PERS, but subsequently were deemed not eligible for membership due to the irregular and limited work schedule of the position.
