Bill Summary
Virginia Retirement System; enhanced retirement benefits for 911 dispatchers. Allows local governments to provide enhanced retirement benefits for hazardous duty service to full-time salaried 911 dispatchers. The bill provides that such enhanced retirement benefits apply only to service earned as a full-time salaried 911 dispatcher on or after July 1, 2027, but allows an employer, as that term is defined in relevant law, to provide such enhanced retirement benefits for service earned as a full-time salaried 911 dispatcher before July 1, 2027, in addition to service earned on or after that date. The bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2027.
AI Summary
This bill allows local governments in Virginia to offer enhanced retirement benefits, similar to those for hazardous duty, to full-time salaried 911 dispatchers, who are individuals working at a public safety answering point (a place that receives 911 calls). These enhanced benefits will apply to service earned as a 911 dispatcher on or after July 1, 2027, but employers can choose to extend these benefits to cover service earned before that date as well. The bill itself will take effect on July 1, 2027.
