Bill > SB154

This bill amends Title 29 of the Delaware Code to modify how service credit is calculated for members of the General Assembly (state legislators) in their pension calculations. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that clarifies that if a member of the General Assembly is elected on Election Day in November and serves through the next Election Day in November, they will receive full service credit for that entire term. This means that a member of the House of Representatives who serves five two-year terms under these specific election and service conditions would be credited with ten years of service, while a Senator who serves five four-year terms under the same conditions would be credited with twenty years of service. The change is intended to provide more precise and potentially more generous service credit calculations for state legislators, helping them qualify for pensions more easily by ensuring they receive full credit for the period between election and the next election cycle.
