S1004

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.
