Mandatory pension switch for Allegany detention officers

The law takes effect June 1, 2026. When Allegany County joins the Correctional Officers’ Retirement System, qualifying local detention officers must join. This covers officers employed before June 1, 2026, who remain in that position through that date. They receive credit for earlier county employment toward retirement eligibility and benefits. Upon joining and receiving credit, they leave the Employees’ Pension System and lose all rights to its benefits. For officers transferring from that system, Title 37 does not govern service-credit transfers; § 31–2B–05(C) governs asset transfers and crediting.
