Bill H.519, introduced by Representative Satcowitz of Randolph, seeks to authorize law enforcement officers employed by the Town of Randolph Police Department to enroll in Group C of the Vermont State Employees Retirement System. This change aims to provide these officers with the same retirement benefits as other state employees in Group C, which typically includes enhanced retirement options for public safety personnel.
The bill does not contain any specific insertions or deletions from current law, but it represents a significant step in recognizing the contributions of local law enforcement by aligning their retirement benefits with those of other state employees. This legislative action is intended to support the recruitment and retention of police officers in the Town of Randolph.
