What’s in it
AI summary People who work in municipal police and fire departments could choose to retire earlier than age 55 if they have enough years of service. If they pick this option, they would receive a smaller retirement payment.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that a member of the municipal fire and police retirement system may elect to retire at years of age with years of service and receive a reduced service retirement allowance, rather than retire at age 55. Similar provisions exist under current law for the peace officers’ retirement, accident, and disability system (Code section 97A.6(2A)).
