The bill H.653, introduced by Representative Satcowitz, seeks to approve the adoption of a charter for the Town of Randolph that allows its law enforcement officers to enroll in the Vermont State Employees Retirement System as Group G members. This change is intended to provide these officers with the same retirement benefits as other state employees, thereby enhancing their retirement security.

To implement this, the bill adds a new chapter to the Vermont Statutes Annotated, specifically Chapter 137, which outlines the provisions for the Town of Randolph's police department and their participation in the retirement system. It specifies that, notwithstanding existing law, law enforcement officers from the Town who join the retirement system will be classified as Group G members. The bill is set to take effect upon passage.
