H.324, introduced by Representative Burditt, proposes to amend the Vermont State Employees Retirement System by raising the mandatory retirement age for Group C members, specifically those officers or employees of the Department of Public Safety engaged in police and law enforcement duties. The bill modifies the current law by changing the age at which these members must retire from 57 to 65 years. Additionally, it updates the language to refer to "the members" instead of "his or her" when discussing retirement eligibility.

The bill also stipulates that the changes will take effect on July 1, 2025. This adjustment aims to allow Group C members to continue their service longer, reflecting a shift in retirement age standards within the state’s retirement system.
