RETIREMENT SYSTEMS & PLANS; AMENDMENTS |
Several changes to statutes governing the retirement plans for elected officials (EORP), public safety personnel (PSPRS) and corrections officers (CORP). Clarifies that each incorporated city or town must submit an annual audit report of that entity's fire fighters' relief and pension fund by Jan 31 or be ineligible to receive its share of fire insurance premium tax monies. Other changes seem mostly technical in nature, relocating language pertaining to a person other than the member who is qualified to receive the member's pension benefits (known as an "alternate payee") and defined elsewhere as a spouse or a former spouse who has been designated in a domestic relations order.

Members of the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System who are on "ordinary disability" (defined elsewhere in statute) and who work (for a non-PSPRS member entity) no longer will have their disability pension benefits reduced by an amount based on their wages. Currently, the amount of the reduction is equal to the difference between the member's income from employment and the member's unreduced pension.
