Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, clarifies that the notification provided by a retiree's new employer to the retirement system concerning the reemployment of the retiree as a law enforcement officer must be provided in writing. - Amends TCA Title 8.
SB 1903 amends Tennessee law to require that when a retiree returns to work as a law enforcement officer, their new employer must provide written notice to the retirement system about this reemployment. The bill specifically adds "in writing" to Tennessee Code Annotated § 8-36-820(a)(7)(A), clarifying the existing notification requirement. This change directly affects law enforcement retirees who return to work and their new employers, ensuring the retirement system receives formal written confirmation. The bill does not alter retirement benefits or create new requirements beyond specifying the format of the employer's notification.
