New Jersey S2539 expands law enforcement officer benefits for certain public employees and restricts hiring for PFRS-eligible positions after age 35.

New Jersey S2539 amends the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) to allow certain public employees to enroll in the law enforcement officer category, making them eligible for enhanced benefits. This includes employees in various law enforcement and public safety roles. The bill also prohibits the hiring of individuals over age 35 for positions eligible for the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS). Existing employees are not affected by these changes.
