Study committee on certain first responders receiving insurance upon retirement eligibility; create.
HB 929 creates a study committee to examine how to fund and fully cover health insurance for retired certified law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders who have already met retirement eligibility under Mississippi's Public Employees' Retirement System. The committee, composed of nine members including representatives from law enforcement and fire associations, state legislators, and retirement system officials, will study the issue and report by January 1, 2027. This bill does not change current insurance policies or funding - it only establishes a process to study the matter. The committee will receive staff support from the state's PEER committee and gather input from relevant agencies.
