Establishes eligibility for PERS enrollment and retirement benefits for certain county fire instructors under certain conditions.
This bill grants eligibility for New Jersey's Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to certain county fire instructors who were enrolled before November 1, 2008. It applies to those who performed fire instructor duties each year of their membership, earned over $1,500 annually, and were permanent career service employees. The bill provides service credit for their past enrollment and allows reenrollment for those whose membership was terminated within two years prior to the bill's effective date, requiring repayment of any returned contributions and interest. This policy change specifically addresses a gap that previously excluded these instructors from retirement benefits due to their position's irregular schedule.
