PERS; allow retirees to work as law enforcement officer for another employer and draw retirement allowance and work full time.

HB 1045 would amend Mississippi's retirement law to allow Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) retirees to work full-time as law enforcement officers for a new employer (not their previous employer) while receiving their full retirement benefits. Currently, retirees face restrictions preventing full-time work and full benefits, but this bill specifically removes that barrier for law enforcement positions. The key provision permits retirees to work the full normal schedule and earn the full salary for a law enforcement role without reducing their retirement allowance. This would directly affect retired law enforcement officers seeking full-time employment with a different agency.
