AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES -- RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFITS

HB 7255 adds two specific state correctional roles - administrator of community confinement and home confinement coordinator - to the state retirement system. This change directly affects employees in these positions by making them eligible for retirement benefits under the existing system. The bill amends the retirement law to explicitly include these titles in the list of covered positions within the Department of Corrections. It does not alter retirement age requirements or benefit calculations for existing members. The bill takes effect upon passage.
