SF 4805 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Police officers pension provisions modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's public employees police and fire retirement plan to allow retired police officers to return to work as active officers while keeping their pension benefits. It applies to police officers who have at least five years of service and are receiving or applying for an annuity, enabling them to rejoin their city police force as early as 31 days after retirement. The legislation sets rules for reemployment, including that the city must hire based on need, the position can last up to one year with possible annual renewal, and the officer's pension amount remains unchanged during this period. Additionally, the bill limits how many retired police officers a city can employ at once, though the specific numerical cap is cut off in the provided text.
