Title

Employees' Retirement System, certain law enforcement officers of ALEA reclassified as Tier II state policeman, Sec. 41-27-7 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, an employee of the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency who is certified by the Alabama Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission and performs law enforcement duties and is hired after January 1, 2015, is classified as a law enforcement officer and is ineligible to participate as a state policeman in the State Employees' Retirement System.

This bill would reclassify new employees hired by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency to allow them to participate as a state policeman in the State Employees' Retirement System as a Tier II state policeman member.

This bill would also provide that an employee classified as a law enforcement officer beginning January 1, 2015, would automatically become a participant as a Tier II state policeman and would allow the employee to elect to convert prior service credit earned as a law enforcement officer with the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency to service as a state policeman for the time period from January 1, 2015, to the effective date of the act.
