This bill amends Titles 24 (Education) and 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to expand the limitations on creditable nonschool and nonstate service for members of the retirement systems. Specifically, it increases the maximum allowable creditable military service from five years to ten years. This change applies to military service other than intervening military service, activated military service, or service performed during USERRA leave. Additionally, it stipulates that members with multiple service cannot purchase more than a total of ten years of military service across both the system and the State Employees' Retirement System or the Public School Employees' Retirement System.

The bill aims to provide greater flexibility and benefits for members of the retirement systems by allowing them to accumulate more creditable service time for military and nonstate service. The amendments are set to take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
