SHERIFFS PEN/RELIEF FUND: To provide for retirees returning to positions covered by the Sheriffs' Pension and Relief Retirement Fund. (gov sig) (EN INCREASE APV)
This bill allows retired Louisiana sheriffs who return to full-time work to undo their retirement by paying back all benefits they received since leaving, plus interest. To do this, they must make a single lump-sum payment that covers any DROP or Back-DROP payments, after which their service time is restored as if they never retired. The law also sets a deadline of December 31, 2027, after which these rehiring and refund rules will no longer apply.
