Firefighters relief associations; maximum lump-sum service pension amount increased for each year of service credited.

HF 2395 increases the maximum lump-sum pension amount for firefighters in Minnesota's defined benefit relief associations. It raises the cap from $15,000 to $20,000 per year of credited service, directly affecting volunteer and on-call firefighters who receive lump-sum pensions through these associations. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to set this new maximum, allowing associations to adopt lower amounts only if ratified by the municipality. This change applies uniformly to all years of active service, without altering existing monthly pension caps.
