An Act establishing a credible service commission
This bill establishes a special commission to study whether time served as an emergency medical technician, call firefighter, or police dispatcher should count toward creditable service for retirement benefits. The commission, made up of legislative leaders and representatives from fire/police associations, will examine the costs and feasibility of this change. It must submit its report with recommendations to the legislature within one year of the bill's passage. The study directly affects public safety workers in these roles, but the bill itself does not change current retirement rules - only authorizes the investigation.
