The bill proposes amendments to the existing firemen pension laws in Wyoming, specifically allowing retired firefighters to be rehired while still receiving their retirement benefits. A new section, W.S. 15-5-423, is created to outline the rehiring process, which must comply with the Wyoming Retirement Act. Additionally, a new subsection (j) is added to W.S. 15-5-204, clarifying that rehiring a retired paid fireman will also adhere to the provisions of the Wyoming Retirement Act.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2024. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for retired firefighters who wish to return to work without losing their pension benefits, thereby addressing workforce needs while supporting the financial security of retired personnel.
