The Act makes some groups of workers police officers for PERS. (Flesch Readability Score: 79.7).

AI Summary

This bill directs the Public Employees Retirement Board (PERB) to conduct a comprehensive study on how chaplains' salaries are treated within the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), with a requirement to submit a report to legislative committees by September 15, 2026. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "police officers" under PERS to include several new categories of workers: counselors in county juvenile departments who primarily perform specific administrative duties, assistant attorneys general in the criminal prosecution division, employees responsible for fingerprint processing in law enforcement agencies, and force protection officers in the Oregon Military Department who patrol and protect military installations. These new police officer classifications are specific and retroactive only to the effective date of the bill, meaning workers can only receive police officer retirement benefits for service performed after the bill takes effect. The bill also includes a self-repealing provision, which means the study requirement will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, ensuring the directive is temporary and time-limited.
