Relates to establishing a twenty-five year retirement plan for firefighters employed by the division of military and naval affairs

This bill creates a new twenty-five year retirement option for firefighters working for the Division of Military and Naval Affairs, allowing them to retire after completing twenty-five years of service. Under this plan, eligible employees can choose to retire with a pension equal to half of their final average salary, which includes their own contributions and additional benefits for service beyond the twenty-five-year mark. The legislation also counts prior service with other organized fire departments toward the required twenty-five years and permits current employees to elect this new plan within one year of its effective date.
