An Act authorizing certain public employees’ creditable retirement service

This bill amends retirement laws to expand creditable service for certain public employees. It adds Peace Corps, Vista, and AmeriCorps service to the list of qualifying periods for retirement credit (replacing the previous "Peace Corps" reference). It also clarifies that guidance counselors are considered "state employees" for retirement purposes. The changes directly affect public employees who served in these specific national service programs or work as guidance counselors.
