This bill proposes to amend section 38-852.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the benefits received from the public safety personnel retirement system. The current law states that benefits received under this article or prior retirement systems shall not be reduced due to payments from the federal old age and survivors insurance system.

The bill would remove the phrase "the effective date of this section" and replace it with a specific date, "April 29, 1973," thereby clarifying the date from which the benefits protection applies. Additionally, it eliminates the phrase "now or hereafter," streamlining the language while maintaining the core provision that benefits will not be reduced due to federal payments.
