HB 1091 updates Oklahoma's Firefighters Pension and Retirement System rules for active and retired firefighters. It modifies death benefit calculations, clarifies when members can get refunded contributions, and adds options for repaying contributions through amortized payments. The bill also restricts purchasing military service credit and credited service, requires payment before benefits start, and allows volunteer firefighters to buy military credit under new rules. These changes directly affect all Oklahoma firefighters enrolled in the system and the State Board that administers it.
