Under current law, an employee of the Department of Corrections or the Department of Administrative and Financial Services who was employed on or after January 1, 2000 and whose duties involve contact with prisoners, probationers, parolees or juvenile offenders or supervising such an employee qualifies for the 1998 Special Plan and may receive a service retirement benefit after completing 25 years of service. This bill removes the qualification that these employees must have been employed on or after January 1, 2000 so any employee whose duties involve contact with prisoners, probationers, parolees or juvenile offenders or supervising such an employee qualifies for the 1998 Special Plan and may receive a service retirement benefit after completing at least
25 years of service.
