Employees' Pension System - Town of Forest Heights Employees - Membership

SB 864 authorizes certain employees of the Town of Forest Heights to join Maryland's Employees' Pension System on an optional basis. It requires these employees to make a one-time election by a specific deadline to join, with service credit for prior employment counted toward retirement benefits. The bill also specifies that employees joining after a set date will not receive service credit for work completed before joining. This legislation modifies existing pension laws to allow Forest Heights to participate while establishing clear rules for membership and credit.
