AI Summary
This bill, effective March 1, 2026, amends the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) of Mississippi by reducing the required years of "creditable service" (the total time an employee has worked and contributed to the retirement system) for members who joined PERS on or after March 1, 2026, to retire without regard to their age. Specifically, it lowers this requirement from 35 years of creditable service to 30 years, meaning these future PERS members will be eligible to retire after 30 years of service, regardless of how old they are at that point.
