This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) to allow active ASRS members who are appointed as temporary personnel by a federal agency to receive credited service for up to 60 months of such service. The bill introduces new language that specifies this provision and requires ASRS employers to make both member and employer contributions for the duration of the temporary personnel service, similar to the existing provisions for active military service.

Additionally, the bill updates the current law by including the Civilian Reservist Emergency Workforce Act (CREW Act) as an exception to the 60-month service cap. It modifies existing language to replace references to military service with temporary personnel service where applicable, ensuring that the same rights and benefits are extended to members serving in temporary roles for federal agencies. Overall, the bill aims to align ASRS provisions with federal employment rights for temporary personnel while maintaining the structure of contributions and credited service.
