Retirement: county employees; employment of retirant in a county sheriff’s office; allow without forfeiting retirement allowance. Amends sec. 12a of 1851 PA 156 (MCL 46.12a).

This bill amends state law to allow Michigan county boards of commissioners to hire retired employees back into county sheriff's offices without requiring them to forfeit their retirement benefits. The legislation clarifies that counties can employ retirees in this specific role while they continue to receive their existing pension or retirement allowance. By modifying section 12a of the 1951 County Boards of Commissioners Act, the measure provides legal authority for counties to utilize the experience of former sheriff's office staff without creating a financial penalty for their retirement status.
