Bill > B26-0354

This bill, the First Responder Retention Efforts Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, temporarily amends the Policemen and Firemen’s Retirement and Disability Act, a law governing retirement benefits for police and fire personnel. Specifically, it removes the mandatory retirement age for members of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Fire and Emergency Medical Services, meaning these individuals will no longer be required to retire solely because they have reached a certain age, allowing them to continue serving at the discretion of their department heads. This change is intended to help retain experienced first responders and is enacted on a temporary basis, set to expire after 225 days.
