Bill > HB1825

This bill amends the Virginia Code to extend membership in the Virginia Law Officers' Retirement System (VaLORS) to conservation officers of the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Specifically, the bill adds conservation officers appointed under Article 4 of Title 10.1 to the list of employees eligible for the retirement system, which already includes various law enforcement and public safety personnel such as campus police officers, wildlife conservation police officers, and correctional officers. The bill specifies that these enhanced retirement benefits will only apply to service earned by conservation officers on or after July 1, 2025. This means that conservation officers who work for the Department of Conservation and Recreation will now be able to participate in the VaLORS retirement system, which provides retirement benefits tailored to law enforcement and public safety professionals, starting from the specified date.
