Correctional Officers' Retirement System - Dorchester County

SB 614 requires Dorchester County correctional officers who work at the county detention center to join the Correctional Officers’ Retirement System (CORS) if Dorchester County becomes a participating member of CORS. It automatically transfers these officers out of the Employees’ Pension System upon joining CORS, granting them service credit for prior Dorchester employment but eliminating all future benefits from the old pension plan. The bill ensures a seamless transition for officers without requiring individual action, directly affecting current and future Dorchester County detention center officers who would otherwise remain in the Employees’ Pension System.
