Retirement: state employees; membership in the retirement system of certain law enforcement officers first hired after certain date; provide for, and allow for purchasing service credit for certain law enforcement officers' service under the state employees' retirement system. Amends 1986 PA 182 (MCL 38.1601 - 38.1674) by adding secs. 24c, 24d, 24e & 24f. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1133'26, SB 1134'26

SB 1135 allows certain law enforcement officers who were first hired after a specific date and currently participate in the state employees' retirement system to purchase service credit for their previous work. This provision applies to officers covered under sections 4(1)(b), (d), and (f) of the State Police Retirement Act, enabling them to count prior state employee service toward their law enforcement retirement benefits. To receive this credit, members must pay an amount equal to the actuarial value of that service, which can be done through tax-deferred or additional payments. The bill sets a deadline of October 15, 2027, for initiating these purchases and requires that payment be completed within four years of starting the process.
