Bill Summary

As introduced, authorizes a retired campus police officer to be reemployed in a position covered by TCRS as a law enforcement officer without the loss or suspension of the retired officer's TCRS benefits; extends the repeal date for the provision authorizing retired law enforcement officers to be reemployed without the loss or suspension of retirement benefits from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Tennessee law to allow retired campus police officers to be reemployed in positions covered by the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) as law enforcement officers without losing or suspending their retirement benefits. Specifically, the bill amends an existing statute to explicitly include campus police officers alongside other law enforcement professionals (such as retired officers and sheriff's deputies) who can be rehired without retirement benefit interruption. The bill also extends the sunset provision or repeal date for this employment provision from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027, effectively giving campus police officers two more years to take advantage of this reemployment option. This change provides more flexibility for retired campus police officers who may want to continue working in law enforcement while maintaining their existing retirement benefits, which could help address staffing needs in campus security and law enforcement.
