HB 2378: continuation; PSPRS

Sponsor: Representative Carter, LD 15

Transmitted to the Governor

Overview

Continues the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) through July 1, 2030.

History

PSPRS was established in 1968 as a uniform, consistent and equitable statewide program for public safety personnel who are regularly assigned hazardous duty in the employ of Arizona or a political subdivision. This program provides for municipal firemen and policemen, employees of the Arizona highway patrol and other public safety personnel in Arizona (A.R.S. § 38-841).

The House Ways & Means Committee of Reference (COR) met on January 10, 2024, to consider PSPRS's response to the sunset factors and receive public testimony. The COR recommended that PSPRS be continued. Currently, PSPRS is set to terminate on July 1, 2024 unless legislation is enacted for its continuation (A.R.S. § 41-3024.27).
