Plain-language change summary

The latest amendment to Bill B 25-0939 updates the language to clarify that retired police officers and firefighters can be hired as 911 call takers or dispatchers on a temporary basis without losing their retirement benefits. This is important as it provides flexibility for these retired professionals to re-enter the workforce in critical roles, ensuring that the 911 service has enough staff to respond effectively to emergencies.
