We invite all first responders to the Mississippi First Responders Legislative Caucus on Thursday, March 12 at 11:30 am to discuss Tier 5 for first responders along with other issues facing the fire service.  

Please show up on Thursday morning at 10:30 am to catch your senator to talk to them about the urgency of passing SB 2103.  Ask them for support of the House amendment on SB 2103. 

CORE POINTS to SB 2103:

• Recruitment is becoming a serious challenge for police and fire departments across Mississippi.
• Retirement benefits are one of the first things recruits compare when deciding where to build a career.
• Experienced officers and firefighters are increasingly leaving Mississippi for states with stronger retirement systems.
• The House amendment represents an important step toward making Mississippi competitive again.
• Public safety careers are physically demanding and high-risk, and retirement policy should reflect the realities of the job.
