RELATING TO DEFERRED RETIREMENT FOR POLICE.

HB 406 establishes a new deferred retirement option program for active police officers, allowing them to delay full retirement while continuing to serve. The bill directly affects current law enforcement officers who choose to postpone their retirement date without losing accrued benefits. Key provisions would require departments to implement this option as part of existing retirement rules, giving officers flexibility to extend their service. This creates a concrete policy change by adding a specific retirement timing choice to officer benefit structures.
