Bill > H5021

This bill amends the state retirement system law to add "administrator of confinement" and "home confinement coordinator" to the list of positions within the Department of Corrections that are eligible for specialized retirement benefits. Specifically, these two new positions will now be included alongside other correctional roles like correctional officers, chief of security, and classification counselors in a section of law that provides specific retirement provisions. The bill allows these new positions to access retirement benefits under the same conditions as other listed corrections employees, such as being eligible to retire after reaching certain age and service milestones (for example, retiring at age 50 with 20 years of service or at age 55 with 25 years of service). The changes are designed to provide consistent retirement treatment for additional administrative roles within the corrections system. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage, meaning these retirement provisions will apply as soon as the bill becomes law.
