An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in municipal pensions, providing for pension service credit for prior service with police department.

This law allows police officers in Pennsylvania to choose whether to buy back pension credit for their previous time working with a police department, rather than requiring them to do so. It specifically changes state statutes to give officers the option to apply for this service credit under the municipal pension system. The change applies to those seeking to purchase credit for prior service as part of their retirement benefits calculation.
