Provides for purchase of PFRS credit for service as class two special law enforcement officer.
This bill allows members of New Jersey's Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) to purchase retirement credit for prior service as a "class two special law enforcement officer" with a public employer. It directly affects current or future PFRS members who previously worked in this limited-authority police role (requiring specific training but having restricted powers compared to full officers). The key provision lets them buy up to 10 years of credit for that service, provided the gap between that job and their PFRS appointment was under 120 days, with payment covering both member and employer shares over up to 10 years. The process mirrors existing rules for purchasing credit for federal/military service.
