The bill H. 4612 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically Section 9-11-90, which pertains to the earnings limitation for members of the Police Officers Retirement System. The amendment introduces a new provision that exempts school resource officers from the earnings limitation that typically applies to retired members. This means that school resource officers will not be restricted in their earnings after retirement, allowing them to work without facing penalties related to their retirement benefits.

In addition to the new exemption for school resource officers, the bill retains existing qualifications under which the earnings limitation does not apply, such as retirement before January 2, 2013, reaching the age of fifty-seven at retirement, or receiving compensation for service in certain public offices. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
