Bill > HB361

This bill amends Louisiana Revised Statutes to modify insurance premium payment rules for retired sheriffs and deputy sheriffs from the Franklin Parish Sheriff's Office. The bill creates a tiered system for insurance premium coverage based on years of service and age, with different rules for those who retired before December 31, 2012, and those who retire on or after January 1, 2025. For retirees before December 31, 2012, the sheriff's general fund will pay 100% of premium costs for those who have either reached 55 years old with 24 years of service or completed 30 years of service regardless of age. For retirees between 2012 and 2025, the premium coverage varies from 50% to 100% depending on age and years of service, with a requirement that a majority of service be with the Franklin Parish Sheriff's Office. For those retiring on or after January 1, 2025, a similar tiered system applies, with the same percentage-based coverage contingent on years of service and age. The Louisiana Sheriff's Pension and Relief Fund will determine creditable days of full-time service for calculating eligibility. This bill ensures continued health and life insurance support for retired sheriffs and deputy sheriffs based on their length and location of service.
