Bill Summary

Virginia Retirement System; service retirement allowance; return to work. Allows a retired law-enforcement officer to continue to receive his service retirement allowance during a subsequent period of employment by a local law-enforcement agency in a civilian role that does not require law-enforcement certification as a fingerprint examiner, forensics specialist, property and evidence technician, background investigator, or firearms instructor, so long as he has a break in service of at least six calendar months between retirement and reemployment, did not retire under an early retirement program, did not retire under the Workforce Transition Act of 1995, and retired in good standing from his sworn law-enforcement officer position.

AI Summary

This bill allows retired law-enforcement officers in Virginia to continue receiving their service retirement allowance while working in certain civilian roles for a local law-enforcement agency, provided they have a six-month break in service between retiring and returning to work, did not retire under an early retirement program or the Workforce Transition Act of 1995, and retired in good standing from their sworn officer position. The eligible civilian roles include positions like fingerprint examiner, forensics specialist, property and evidence technician, background investigator, or firearms instructor, which do not require law-enforcement certification. This change aims to facilitate the return of experienced individuals to public service in non-sworn capacities without impacting their retirement benefits.
