Montgomery County, Montgomery City Council authorized to join state retirement system, constitutional amendment

SB 208 proposes a constitutional amendment to authorize members of the Montgomery City Council to participate in the Employees' Retirement System of Alabama. If approved by voters, current and future council members would be treated as city employees for retirement purposes and could join the system under the same terms as other employees. The bill also allows council members to purchase service credit for their prior time in office, provided they are not simultaneously participating in a supernumerary program.
