An act relating to creditable service for temporary State employment

This bill allows Vermont State employees who are members of the State Employees' Retirement System to count their previous temporary or seasonal state employment as creditable service toward their retirement benefits. The key provision adds a new section to the retirement law that grants credit for any temporary or seasonal state employment held before the employee became a formal member of the retirement system. This change applies to all current and future members of the retirement system who previously worked in temporary state positions and provides an effective date of July 1, 2023.
