Bill > S3735

This bill extends provisions originally established in P.L.2022, c.9 related to the retirement age of police and fire chiefs who are members of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS). Specifically, the bill allows police and fire chiefs who will turn 65 years old during a 60-month period after the original law's effective date to remain in their positions until the end of the calendar year in which they turn 67, provided their appointing authority approves their continued service in writing. The bill requires the PFRS Board of Trustees to submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within 30 days after the 60-month period ends, detailing how many members were retained past age 65, the length of their extended service, and the impact on the retirement system. This legislation provides flexibility for senior law enforcement and fire department leaders to continue serving beyond the standard mandatory retirement age, while ensuring oversight and documentation of the extended service period.
