Raises mandatory retirement age for SPRS members from 55 to 60.

This bill (S 546) proposes to raise the mandatory retirement age for New Jersey State Police members from 55 to 60 years old. It directly affects current and future members of the State Police Retirement System (SPRS) by allowing them to continue working longer before retirement. The amendment to Section 8 of the State Police Retirement System law states that retirement at 60 is a "bona fide occupational qualification" necessary for public safety and officer fitness. The change would apply to all SPRS members, including those appointed under specific statutes, without altering existing retirement benefit calculations.
