SB 513 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As introduced, extends, from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2028, the authorization for an emergency medical service employee who has been retired for at least 60 days from TCRS to accept employment as an emergency medical services employee without loss or suspension of retirement benefits if certain conditions are met. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8 and Title 68, Chapter 140, Part 3.

SB 513 extends the deadline for retired emergency medical services (EMS) employees to return to work without losing retirement benefits from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2028. This affects EMS workers who retired from the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) and wish to rejoin the workforce after at least 60 days of retirement, provided they meet specific conditions. The bill amends Tennessee law (TCA Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8 and Title 68, Chapter 140, Part 3) to update the expiration date for this provision. The change ensures eligible retirees can continue working in EMS roles without penalty for an additional three years.
