Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, authorizes a retired campus police officer to be reemployed in a position covered by TCRS as a law enforcement officer without the loss or suspension of the retired officer's TCRS benefits; extends the repeal date for the provision authorizing retired law enforcement officers to be reemployed without the loss or suspension of retirement benefits from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8.

HB 774 amends Tennessee's retirement law to allow retired campus police officers to return to work as law enforcement officers without losing their retirement benefits. The bill updates the retirement code to specifically include campus police officers in the list of qualifying positions (previously limited to sheriff's deputies) and extends the expiration date of this provision from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027. This directly affects retired campus police officers who are rehired by their agencies for law enforcement roles. The change ensures campus police officers receive the same retirement benefit protections as other law enforcement personnel under Tennessee's retirement system.
