STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand
AN ACT relative to the classification of certain personnel of the department of corrections.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Classification of Certain Corrections Personnel; Determination by Board of Trustees or Retirement System. Notwithstanding the provisions of the introductory paragraph of RSA 100-A:1, VII, the board of trustees of the retirement system shall determine within 6 months of the effective date of this act whether certain line personnel jobs within the department of corrections which are similar to those positions reviewed pursuant to the provisions of 1998, 215 (which provided a process for review of the 1989 decertification of certain corrections jobs) are properly certified as group I jobs. The review by the board shall be limited to positions which were created after 1989 and which are similar, as determined by the board, to the positions subject to 1998, 215. If the board of trustees by a 2/3 vote determines that a person holding such a job meets the requirements of RSA 100-A:1, VII(b), such person shall be prospectively classified as a group II member. The board of trustees shall report its determination to the speaker of the house and the senate president. The department of corrections and the director of personnel, department of administrative services, shall provide any information required by the board of trustees in making the determination. Any person determined to require change of classification shall be entitled upon retirement to split benefits as provided under RSA 100-A:19-a through RSA 100-A:19-h.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
