The bill amends Section 36-10-9.2 of the General Laws in Chapter 36-10, which pertains to the retirement system for correctional officers and related positions within the Department of Corrections. The amendment includes the addition of new job titles, specifically "administrator of confinement" and "home confinement coordinator," to the list of positions eligible for retirement on service allowance. The bill also removes the conjunction "and" before the position of associate directors, indicating an expansion of the list of positions.

The bill outlines the retirement eligibility criteria for members of the Department of Corrections, detailing the age and years of service required for retirement at different dates. It also provides a formula for adjusting the minimum retirement age for members who were in service as of October 1, 2009, but not eligible to retire as of September 30, 2009. Additionally, the bill allows members with a combination of state employee, teacher, and correctional service to elect to combine their service for retirement eligibility and benefit computation. The act would take effect upon passage and includes provisions for members who have retired on a service retirement allowance on or after July 1, 2012, allowing them to request an adjustment to their retirement benefits.
