Bill Summary

Relative to the reserve time of public safety personnel in the city of Salem. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill allows the Salem Retirement Board to grant creditable service, which counts towards retirement benefits, for certain public safety personnel in the City of Salem's Police or Fire Departments who joined the Salem Retirement System on or before February 11, 2020, even if they did not pay for this service. This applies to reserve, permanent-intermittent, or call service, which are types of part-time or on-call public safety roles, and overrides existing laws that might prevent this. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
