Retired Firefighter and Police Officer Redeployment Extension Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to extend a temporary law allowing retired police officers and firefighters to be rehired as 911 call takers or dispatchers without losing their pension benefits. The measure enables the Office of Unified Communications to continue using these experienced professionals, who possess unique knowledge of emergency response, to fill staffing needs while permanent legislation is being considered. By exempting these rehired employees from standard pension offsets, the bill ensures they can apply their specialized skills in new roles without financial penalty. This action directly affects retired law enforcement and fire personnel who wish to return to service and the agency responsible for managing 911 communications.
