A 6127 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Emergency Services part of PERS; provides enhanced benefits for emergency services employees.

This bill creates a new "Emergency Services Part" within New Jersey's Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), specifically for qualifying emergency workers. It directly affects permanent, full-time emergency medical technicians, paramedics, fire inspectors, dispatchers, and other life-support service providers who hold active certifications. The key provision requires these employees to be enrolled in this new retirement category (with an opt-out option via waiver) within 120 days of the bill's effective date, transferring their existing service credit. It provides enhanced retirement and death benefits compared to standard PERS, as outlined in the referenced pending legislation.
