Permits certain twenty-five year retirement program dispatcher members to file elections not to participate
This bill allows certain dispatcher members who were over age thirty when hired to opt out of a mandatory twenty-five-year retirement plan. It grants these individuals a new window of one hundred eighty days from the law's effective date to submit an election not to participate in the program. The legislation also requires the retirement system to post the necessary forms and instructions on its website within thirty days, extending the filing deadline by sixty days for each month the forms are delayed. This change directly affects dispatcher members who previously missed the initial deadline to decline participation due to their age at hiring.
