Bill Summary

An Act concerning certain service credit for certain members of the Prosecutors Part of the Public Employees' Retirement System, salaries and retirement benefits of certain prosecutors and judges, and amending various parts of the statutory law.

AI Summary

This bill makes several key changes: 1. It allows county prosecutors to receive service credit in the Prosecutors Part of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for their time working as a judicial clerk for a judge or justice, and permits prosecutors enrolled in the Defined Contribution Retirement Program to purchase service credit in the Prosecutors Part. 2. It increases the annual salaries of the Presiding Judge of the Appellate Division and county prosecutors, and provides for cost-of-living adjustments to these salaries over the next three years. 3. It permits retired judges to continue receiving their pension while serving as a county prosecutor, without needing to re-enroll in a state-administered retirement system. This allows them to collect both their pension and the full salary for the prosecutor position. The bill aims to attract and retain qualified prosecutors and judges by improving their compensation and pension benefits.
