The bill amends Section 36-10-9.2 of the General Laws regarding retirement benefits for members of the Department of Corrections. It adds the positions of "administrator of community confinement" and "home confinement coordinator" to the existing list of eligible positions for retirement benefits, which includes correctional officers and various director roles. The bill outlines the retirement eligibility criteria based on age and years of service. It also 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 from both service types. This provision applies to members who retired on or after July 1, 2012, and requests for adjustments must be submitted in writing to the retirement board. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
