Attention: Information about Senate Enrolled Act 78

Senate Enrolled Act 78 (SEA 78) requires that employers must enroll full-time police officers and full-time firefighters hired on or after July 1, 2022, in the 1977 Fund after they pass the statewide baseline physical and local board mental examinations. Under IC 36-8-8-3(b), firefighters employed by units that did not establish a 1937 Firefighters’ Pension Fund may be enrolled in PERF if the unit elected to join PERF.

INPRS is coordinating directly with impacted employers to make this transition. If you have questions about SEA 78 or need help as you work to transition your employees, please contact the Employer Advocate Team at (888) 876-2707 or via email at eppa@inprs.in.gov.
