An Act increasing the age limit for the appointment of special police officers in the city of Springfield
This law changes the retirement rules for retired police officers in Springfield who work as special police officers. Previously, these officers faced the same age limits as regular police officers, but this bill sets their maximum age at 70. Additionally, the law ensures that their pay is not reduced after they turn 65, removing a previous deduction rule. It applies only to those appointed under a specific 2018 law and takes effect immediately upon passing.
