Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, authorizes a firefighter with a rank equal to or higher than shift commander to continue in service beyond the mandatory retirement age of 62 years of age. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36.

HB 333 would allow firefighters in Tennessee with a rank of shift commander or higher to continue working past the current mandatory retirement age of 62. This changes existing law (Tennessee Code § 8-36-205) by removing the retirement requirement for these senior firefighters, while keeping the 62-year limit for other firefighters. The bill amends the specific code section governing firefighter retirement eligibility to create this exception. It would take effect on July 1, 2025, if passed.
