SB 756 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, authorizes a retired campus police officer to be reemployed in a position covered by TCRS as a law enforcement officer without the loss or suspension of the retired officer's TCRS benefits; extends the repeal date for the provision authorizing retired law enforcement officers to be reemployed without the loss or suspension of retirement benefits from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8.

SB 756 allows retired campus police officers in Tennessee to be rehired as law enforcement officers under the state retirement system without losing their retirement benefits. It specifically updates pension law to include campus police officers alongside sheriff's deputies in this provision. The bill also extends the deadline for this rule from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027, delaying when the policy would automatically expire. This directly affects retired campus police officers seeking to return to law enforcement roles while maintaining their pension benefits. The changes amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8.
