SB 2536 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, requires the governing body of a political subdivision that passes a resolution authorizing a supplemental retirement benefit for hazardous duty to forward such resolution to the board of trustees of the Tennessee consolidated retirement system. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36.

SB 2536 requires local governments (such as cities, counties, or other political subdivisions) that approve supplemental retirement benefits for hazardous duty to forward a copy of their resolution to the Tennessee consolidated retirement system's board of trustees. This amendment to state law (TCA Title 8, Chapter 36) adds a mandatory notification step for these benefits, ensuring the state retirement system is informed of local decisions. The bill directly affects political subdivisions that grant hazardous duty retirement benefits by requiring them to share resolution details with the state system. It does not alter the benefits themselves but establishes a formal communication process between local governments and the retirement system.
