HB 584 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

State Retirement and Pension System - Transfers Between Systems - Workgroup

HB 584 requires the State Retirement Agency to form a workgroup to study how state and local retirement systems handle transfers of member service credit between systems. The workgroup will review current rules, identify inconsistencies in state retirement laws, and recommend improvements to streamline the transfer process. It must submit findings and recommendations by December 1, 2025, and the bill expires on June 30, 2026. This procedural bill does not change retirement benefits but aims to simplify administrative processes for state and local government employees moving between retirement systems.
