Montana SB7 repeals changes to retirement criteria for HPORS and SRS, restoring eligibility to 20 years of service.
Montana SB7 repeals recent changes to the retirement criteria for the Highway Patrol Officers' Retirement System (HPORS) and the Sheriffs' Retirement System (SRS). The bill restores eligibility for a nonforfeitable service retirement benefit to members who have completed at least 20 years of membership service, regardless of their age. Previously, members hired after July 1, 2023, needed to reach age 50 in addition to completing 20 years of service to qualify. The changes apply retroactively to members of the highway patrol officers' retirement system and the sheriffs' retirement system.
