Resolution #2011-7 Police, Fire and Public Employee Retirement Systems

State law prohibits part-time employees and many elected officers of cities and towns from receiving state retirement disbursements or benefits from previous public employment without a 30-day break in service.  

Be it resolved that the League of Cities and Towns will support legislation to allow part-time public employees and elected officers to collect pension disbursements and benefits earned during previous public employment without a break in service. 

Be it also resolved that the League of Cities and Towns will oppose bills that unreasonably increase employer contributions as the Legislature works to offset the effects of the recession on retirement accounts.

Be it further resolved that the League will support legislation to allow cities and towns to exceed the limit on monthly benefits for volunteer firefighters in 19-18-602 (3B) if their pension account is actuarially funded.
