The bill amends Section 36-10-9.2 of the General Laws concerning retirement benefits for correctional officers and related positions within the Department of Corrections. It specifically adds the roles of "deputy chief of inspection" and "inspector" to the list of positions eligible for retirement under this section. The act outlines provisions for retirement on service allowance for these positions, which include criteria based on age and years of service.

The bill also allows members who have served in both state employee roles and the specified correctional positions to combine their service for retirement eligibility. This provision extends to members who have already retired since July 1, 2012, enabling them to request adjustments to their retirement benefits. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
