Study committee on certain first responders receiving insurance upon retirement eligibility; create.

HB 1031 creates a study committee to examine funding options for health insurance coverage for retired certified law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders who have reached retirement age under Mississippi's Public Employees' Retirement System. The committee, composed of nine members including association leaders, state legislators, and retirement system representatives, must complete its work by January 1, 2026. This bill does not change current insurance policies but directs the committee to study how to fully fund health insurance for eligible retirees and provide recommendations to the legislature.
