HB 1680: LEOFFRS service credit

Addressing transfers of service credit for emergency medical technicians under the law enforcement officers' and firefighters' retirement system plan 2.

Summary

Provides an exception to the five-years of service waiting period for Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) members of the Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Plan 2 who elect to transfer service credit from the Public Employees' Retirement System Plans 1 or 2 for past service as an EMT.
Permits EMT members or survivors of members to either complete the transfer payment of required contributions plus interest or actuarially reduce benefits to reflect the amount of unpaid transfer obligations if death or disability prevent the member from completing the five-year service requirement of the waiting period.
