Retirement; PERS members convicted of job-related felonies shall be terminated from system.

HB 730 would require termination from Mississippi's Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for state employees convicted of a felony related to their job after July 1, 2025. It affects current and future PERS members who commit such felonies, ensuring they lose retirement benefits upon conviction. Key provisions include: continuing retirement payments until conviction (if retired before trial), refunding accumulated contributions without interest, and allowing continued health insurance coverage under retired employee terms. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and is not law.
