AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow retirees of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to work as a law enforcement officer for an employer different from the one they retired from, while still receiving their full retirement allowance. Under this change, these retired law enforcement officers can work full-time, for the normal number of working days, and earn the full salary for the position they are hired into. This provision aims to address potential staffing needs in law enforcement by making it more financially feasible for experienced retirees to return to service.
