This bill amends R.S. 13:5554(S) to establish new provisions regarding insurance premium payments for retirees of the Franklin Parish Sheriff's Office. It stipulates that 100% of the premium costs for group hospital, surgical, and medical expense insurance, as well as life insurance, will be covered for any sheriff or deputy sheriff who retired before December 31, 2012, and meets specific eligibility criteria related to age and years of service. Additionally, the bill outlines a tiered system for those who retire on or after December 31, 2012, detailing the percentage of premium costs covered based on their years of service and age at retirement.

The bill also introduces new provisions for sheriffs and deputy sheriffs who retire on or after January 1, 2025, specifying similar coverage percentages based on their service time and age. Notably, the language clarifies that a sheriff or deputy sheriff's creditable days of full-time service will be determined by the Louisiana Sheriff's Pension and Relief Fund. The amendments aim to provide clearer guidelines and benefits for retirees, ensuring they receive adequate insurance coverage based on their service to the Franklin Parish Sheriff's Office.
