Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 445 changes the retirement eligibility criteria for county detention officers. Previously, officers could retire at age 55 after 15 years of service, but now they must be at least 60 years old or have 30 years of service. This change ensures that retirement benefits are provided to those who have more extensive experience, which could help enhance the expertise and stability within the detention officer workforce. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that breaks in service due to military duty will not negatively impact eligibility for retirement, promoting support for those who serve in the military.
