What’s in it

Under current law, a member of the department of public safety peace officers’ retirement, accident, and disability system who has completed years or more of creditable service and is at least years of age, but less than years of age, may retire and receive reduced retirement benefits based upon calculations by the board of trustees. This bill increases the required number of years of creditable service for early retirement to and strikes the benefits calculation by the board of trustees. Instead, the bill provides that a member who has completed at least years of creditable service but less than years may retire and receive percent of the benefits the member would have received upon retiring at the age of with years of creditable service, a member retiring with at least years of creditable service but less than years shall receive percent, and a member retiring with years or more of creditable service shall receive percent.
