Relates to the retirement of county and municipal airport firefighters
This bill creates an optional 25-year retirement plan for airport firefighters employed by counties or municipalities. It allows eligible firefighters (those responsible for aircraft rescue, fire suppression, and emergency response at airports) to retire after 25 years of service and receive a pension equal to half their final average salary. Employers (counties/municipalities) must voluntarily adopt the plan by resolution and cover the costs, but it does not affect existing retirement options for other workers. The plan includes credit for prior service in firefighting, police, or military roles and applies only to firefighters whose employer chooses to participate.
