Employees' Pension System - Town of Forest Heights Employees - Membership

HB 1339 allows certain employees of the Town of Forest Heights to opt into Maryland's Employees' Pension System, making membership optional rather than mandatory. It requires these employees to make a one-time, irrevocable election to join by a specific deadline, with service credit provided for prior employment with the town. The bill also prohibits service credit for employees joining after a designated date and aligns Forest Heights' participation with existing pension system rules. This affects Forest Heights town employees directly, granting them pension options while maintaining standard eligibility requirements for the state system.
