This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) by exempting school resource officers (SROs) from existing limitations on receiving pension payments after retirement if they are reemployed in that role. Currently, the law specifies that certain conditions apply to retired members who are reemployed within six months of retirement or in the same position at any time thereafter, which includes the suspension of pension payments during reemployment.

The proposed changes would insert language to include SROs alongside fire inspectors and arson investigators as exceptions to these reemployment limitations. Specifically, the bill would modify the existing statute by adding "or school resource officer" to the list of roles that allow for pension payments to continue without restrictions upon reemployment. This change aims to facilitate the hiring of retired officers in school settings without penalizing them financially through the suspension of their pensions.
