PERS; county and municipal election commissioners shall be members of.

HB 885 would give Mississippi county and municipal election commissioners retirement credit for their service time in the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). Commissioners who served at least eight years before July 1, 2025, would receive an extra retirement payment equal to one year of benefits for each full year served in that role. The bill specifically amends retirement rules to count election commissioner service toward retirement credits and add supplemental payments for qualifying long-term service. This directly affects local election officials serving in elected county and municipal roles.
