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 adds the positions of "administrator of community confinement" and "home confinement coordinator" to the state retirement system. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for retirement, including age and years of service. It specifies provisions for members who were in service as of October 1, 2009, and those who have completed a minimum of five years of contributory service after July 1, 2012. Additionally, the bill allows members who have served both as state employees and teachers to combine their service for retirement eligibility, ensuring they receive a single benefit based on their accrued benefits. The provisions also extend to members who retired on or after July 1, 2012, allowing them to request adjustments to their retirement benefits. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
