House Bill No. by Representative Dewitt aims to amend the Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System (MPERS) by repealing R.S. 11:2220(J), which currently mandates the suspension of benefits for retirees who are reemployed in certain positions within 12 months of their retirement. Under the existing law, this suspension lasts for the duration of the reemployment or until 12 months post-retirement, whichever comes first, with some exceptions.

The proposed legislation eliminates these restrictions, allowing rehired retirees to receive their benefits without the previous limitations. This change is intended to provide greater flexibility and support for retirees who choose to return to work in the municipal police sector.
