Bill Summary
Under current law, a member of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System of New Jersey (PFRS) must retire upon reaching 65 years of age. This bill would allow a member holding an administrative position to stay until age 70 if the governing body of the municipality retains the member in service and if such a decision is communicated in writing to the PFRS board of trustees before the member turns 65. For a primarily administrative position, the physical rigors of the job are less than for other police positions, and longevity in the position is an asset, not a liability. Therefore, it is appropriate to give the governing body of the municipality the discretion to allow an effective employee to continue in service beyond the current mandatory retirement age.
