MINOR
This bill modifies the reemployment rules for retired state employees in Louisiana's State Employees' Retirement System (LASERS). The primary change is the removal of the special provision that allowed P.O.S.T.-certified law enforcement officers to qualify for reemployment benefits with only 25 years of service, aligning them with the standard 30-year requirement. Additionally, the bill reorders the eligibility criteria to list the requirement of being retired for at least one year before being eligible for full benefits, and it updates the header to reflect the final enrolled version of the act.
Scope change
The bill narrows the scope of eligibility for reemployed retirees by removing a specific exception for law enforcement officers who previously had a reduced service credit threshold.
ELIGIBILITY
Removed the special provision allowing P.O.S.T.-certified law enforcement officers to qualify for reemployment benefits with 25 years of service, reverting them to the standard 30-year requirement.
REQUIREMENT
Reordered the eligibility criteria to explicitly require that a retiree has been retired for at least one year before being eligible to receive full retirement benefits.
TECHNICAL
Updated the document header from 'ORIGINAL' to 'ENROLLED' and changed the act number designation to 'ACT No. 7', indicating this is the final version signed into law.
