HB 1027 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Retirement; Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System; term; references; purchase price calculation; service credit; leaves of absence; emergency.

HB 1027 amends Oklahoma's Law Enforcement Retirement System code to update membership definitions and service credit calculations. It adds new member categories, including agents hired by the Office of the Attorney General or Military Department after July 1, 2024, and university police officers at the University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University. The bill revises how service credit is purchased during certain leaves of absence by updating the purchase price calculation formula. These changes directly affect current and future members of the retirement system, covering law enforcement officers across state agencies like the Highway Patrol, State Bureau of Investigation, and university police departments.
