Bill > SB1013

This bill allows municipal police and firefighters who participate in retirement plans overseen by the Municipal Pensions Oversight Board to use their accrued annual leave and sick leave days toward their credited service upon retirement, meaning these unused days can count as additional years of service for pension calculations. The bill specifies that one day of accrued leave will equal one day of credited service, with a system for converting days into months of credit, and clarifies that this new provision will not cause the total pension increase to exceed 70 percent. This change aims to provide a benefit to long-serving municipal emergency responders by allowing them to leverage their unused leave time to potentially increase their retirement pension.
