An act relating to mandatory retirement age of the Vermont State Retirement System

H 324 raises the mandatory retirement age for Vermont police and law enforcement officers in the State Retirement System from 57 to 65 years. It specifically affects Group C members of the Vermont State Retirement System who work in the Department of Public Safety, including current officers and the Commissioner of Public Safety appointed before July 1, 2000. The bill changes the retirement rule so these employees must stay in service until they reach age 65, unless they are serving a fixed-term appointment (allowing them to stay until their term ends). The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
