Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, clarifies that the notification provided by a retiree's new employer to the retirement system concerning the reemployment of the retiree as a law enforcement officer must be provided in writing. - Amends TCA Title 8.

HB 176 (introduced as House Bill 176) would have required new employers to provide written notification to Tennessee's retirement system when rehiring a retired law enforcement officer. This change would have amended Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Section 8-36-809(b)(7)(A), to explicitly state that such notification must be "in writing." The bill directly affected retired law enforcement officers, their new employers, and the state retirement system by clarifying the format of reemployment notifications. The bill was introduced in January 2025 but was withdrawn on February 27, 2025, and did not become law.
