## Summary

**Makes pay for retired officers serving as armed school resource officers tax-free.** This bill would exclude compensation for a "qualified school resource officer" from gross income and from payroll and wage withholding and would add school resource officers to eligibility for Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits. - Retired peace officers: Retirees rehired as armed school resource officers at elementary or secondary schools would not count that pay as taxable income. - Employers and payroll administrators: Companies and school districts would stop withholding federal income and payroll taxes on that excluded compensation. - Survivors of officers: School resource officers would be added to the list of eligible positions for Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits, potentially expanding survivors' access to that benefit.
