Bill > SB2842

This bill amends the Mississippi Code to provide that, starting July 1, 2025, retired law enforcement officers will be entitled to receive their full base pay from their former law enforcement position as their retirement allowance. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection (j) to Section 25-11-111, which overrides any previous provisions and guarantees that law enforcement officers who have retired will receive a retirement allowance equal to their full base pay from their last law enforcement position. The bill also brings forward two related sections of the Mississippi Code (25-11-112 and 25-11-123) for potential future amendment, though no specific changes are made to those sections in this bill. The legislation appears to be aimed at providing enhanced retirement benefits specifically for law enforcement officers, ensuring they receive compensation equivalent to their full working salary after retirement. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving time for the retirement system to prepare for implementing this new provision.
