Bill > HB349

This bill makes two key changes to Pennsylvania's state employee retirement laws. First, it adds a definition for "municipal police officer" in the state's statutes, specifically defining such an individual as someone employed as a police officer who is certified under the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement Law. Second, the bill modifies the rules for creditable nonstate service by allowing members of the Pennsylvania State Police to receive retirement credit for their previous service as municipal police officers in Pennsylvania, with a limit of up to five years of such credit. The bill is an amendment to Title 71 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which governs state government retirement systems. By expanding the types of service that can be credited towards retirement, the legislation provides additional flexibility for state police officers in calculating their retirement benefits. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill is signed into law.
