Bill Summary

Requiring membership in the Correctional Officers' Retirement System for certain local detention center officers of Dorchester County in the event Dorchester County becomes a participating governmental unit in the Correctional Officers' Retirement System; and providing that certain local detention center officers who join the Correctional Officers' Retirement System and receive certain service credit shall no longer be members of the Employees' Pension System.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that if Dorchester County joins the Correctional Officers' Retirement System (CORS), certain local detention center officers in Dorchester County who were already employed before the bill's effective date and remain employed will be required to become members of CORS. These officers will receive credit for their service with Dorchester County prior to joining CORS, and upon joining CORS and receiving this service credit, they will no longer be members of the Employees' Pension System and will forfeit any future benefits from that system. The transfer of service credit for these officers will not follow the standard procedures outlined in Title 37 of the State Personnel and Pensions Article, and if Dorchester County joins CORS, the transfer and crediting of assets will be governed by a specific section of the law.
