Bill > H0629

This bill amends Florida's retirement system statutes to expand mandatory participation in the Senior Management Service Class (a specific retirement system tier) for criminal conflict and civil regional counsel offices. Specifically, the bill requires that starting July 1, 2025, assistant regional counsel supervisors must be enrolled in the Senior Management Service Class, which was previously limited to criminal conflict and civil regional counsel chiefs, administrative directors, and chief investigators. The bill also appropriates $950,000 in recurring funds from the General Revenue Fund for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to cover the retirement benefits associated with these positions. The Florida Retirement System (FRS) is a state-administered retirement program that provides retirement, disability, and death benefits to Florida's public employees, and this bill extends a specific retirement class coverage to additional supervisory positions within regional counsel offices. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving agencies time to prepare for the expanded retirement class membership.
