RETIREMENT/MUNICIPAL POL: Provides relative to membership in the Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System (EN SEE ACTUARIAL NOTE APV)
HB 42 makes a minor grammatical correction to the Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System by changing two instances of the verb "is" to "are" in the text. This adjustment ensures the language agrees with the plural subject it describes, improving the clarity of the statute. The change does not alter any financial rules, benefits, or eligibility requirements for police officers or the system itself. It is a technical amendment focused solely on fixing a wording error rather than introducing new policy.
