Allows certain members of PFRS to serve until age 70 upon approval by municipal governing body.
This bill (S 3589) extends the mandatory retirement age for certain members of New Jersey's Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) from 65 to 70. It specifically applies to police or fire personnel holding *administrative positions* within a municipality, where physical demands are lower than frontline roles. The extension requires approval by the municipality's governing body, with written notice provided to the retirement board before the member turns 65. This change allows eligible employees to remain in their administrative roles longer if their municipality chooses to retain them.
