Bill > A01367

This bill establishes a requirement for local law enforcement agencies in municipalities with authorized auxiliary police forces to provide retirement service identification cards to auxiliary police officers who meet specific criteria. Specifically, these cards will be issued to officers who have served in good standing for at least 10 years or who have been forced to retire due to an injury sustained while performing their duties. The retirement service identification card must include the officer's name, identify them as a retired auxiliary police officer, indicate their years of service, and include a thank you message. The cost of the card will be covered by the local law enforcement agency or agencies where the officer served, with expenses shared equally if the officer served multiple agencies. Importantly, the bill explicitly states that these identification cards do not confer any pension benefits or pension plan enrollment. An auxiliary police officer is defined as a member of an auxiliary police organization authorized by local law, and the bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
