Retired law enforcement officers; provide full base pay for former position as retirement allowance.

SB 2842 proposes to amend Mississippi law so that retired law enforcement officers would receive their full base salary as a retirement allowance starting July 1, 2025, instead of the current calculation based on service years and compensation. This change directly affects retired officers who meet service requirements under the existing retirement system. The bill replaces the current formula (which used percentages of average compensation) with a fixed full-salary payment for eligible retirees. The amendment applies to officers who became members of the retirement system before specific dates, as outlined in the bill text. The bill was referred to committee but died in February 2025.
