An Act relative to retirement systems and pensions for correctional officers

HD 3955 amends a state law to adjust eligibility for retirement pensions for correctional officers. It changes the qualifying language from "the care, supervision or custody of" to "contact with" in the definition of service. This means correctional officers who have had any contact with inmates - rather than only those with direct care, supervision, or custody - will now qualify for pension benefits. The change directly affects correctional officers seeking retirement benefits under the state's pension system.
