Retired Firefighter and Police Officer Redeployment Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This emergency bill allows retired police officers and firefighters in Washington, D.C., to be rehired as temporary 911 call takers or dispatchers without risking their retirement benefits. The Director of the Office of Unified Communications has the authority to decide which retirees are eligible for these temporary full-time or part-time positions. Any time spent in these roles will not count toward future retirement credit, ensuring that the rehire does not affect their long-term pension eligibility. The law is designed to take effect immediately and will remain in force for no more than 90 days.
