Revising disability retirement provisions for MPORS and FURS

This bill updates disability retirement rules for police officers and firefighters in Montana's Municipal Police Officers' Retirement System and Firefighters' Unified Retirement System. It clarifies how disability benefits are calculated based on years of service and whether the disability occurred in the line of duty, while also requiring employers to document workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The legislation establishes specific procedures for applying for disability retirement, including medical examinations and benefit conversions when members reach normal retirement age. These changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, and apply to both defined benefit plans and line-of-duty disability provisions.
