SB 1141 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Titles 24 (Education) and 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in membership, contributions and benefits, further providing for creditable nonschool service; and, in membership, credited service, classes of service, and eligibility for benefits, further providing for creditable nonstate service.

SB 1141 increases the maximum amount of military service that counts toward retirement benefits from 5 to 10 years for state government employees (under Title 71) and education employees (under Title 24) in Pennsylvania. The bill amends retirement laws to allow this change while ensuring employees with multiple retirement systems (e.g., both state and education systems) cannot count more than 10 total years of military service across both. It specifically affects members of the State Employees' Retirement System and the Public School Employees' Retirement System. The amendment becomes effective 60 days after enactment.
