Tennessee SB2058 amends retirement benefits for state public safety officers, introducing the STAR plan.
Tennessee SB2058 amends Tennessee's retirement benefits for state public safety officers by introducing the Supporting Troopers through Advanced Retirement (STAR) plan. This plan offers enhanced benefits, including a monthly retirement benefit based on average final compensation and a reduced survivor benefit. State troopers hired on or after July 1, 2026, automatically become participants in the STAR plan and are entitled to its benefits. The STAR plan also includes a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) where troopers can defer retirement benefits to continue working full-time.
