Peace officer retirement and rehiring.
HB 45 removes the mandatory retirement age for Wyoming State Highway Patrol officers, Game and Fish Wardens, and Criminal Investigators. It allows these retired peace officers to be rehired by the state under existing provisions of the Wyoming Retirement Act. The bill repeals the previous requirement that officers retire at a specific age and takes effect July 1, 2023. This change directly affects current and future peace officers in these specific roles by providing flexibility in retirement and reemployment options.
