Section 45-37A-51.232 Firefighters’ and Police Officers’ Supplemental Pension Survivors Pension
Status: in_force

(a) Effective as of July 1, 2002, in the event a firefighter or police officer retires under the supplemental pension system established by Subpart 1, after having accumulated 20 years of credited service under the system and shall die prior to the date on which the participant would have accumulated 30 years of credited service under this system had he or she not retired but had he or she continued in employment with the city, without interruption, as a firefighter or police officer, the participant’s survivor or survivors shall not receive any benefit therefrom. However, should the retired firefighter or police officer die subsequent to the date on which he or she would have accumulated 30 years of credited service hereunder, and should the retiree or participant be survived by a spouse to whom he or she was legally married at the time of the retiree’s or participant’s death, regardless of whether the marriage occurred before or after the retiree’s departure from service, the surviving spouse shall be entitled to receive until such time as the spouse should remarry, a monthly survivor’s benefit in the amount equal to 60 percent of the monthly retirement benefit which the retiree was receiving or entitled to receive on the date of his or her death as if the surviving spouse or survivors was entitled to a benefit under Section 45-37A-51.228 and Section 45-37A-51.229. If a survivor’s benefit ceases because the survivor remarries, in the event the marriage is terminated by annulment, divorce, or death of the survivor’s spouse, then on such termination the survivor again shall be eligible to receive the survivor’s benefits.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, for all participants who first become participants on or after July 1, 2021, in the event a legally married firefighter or police officer retires under the supplemental pension system established by Subpart 1, after having accumulated 20 years of credited service under the system, and dies prior to the date on which the participant would have accumulated 30 years of credited service under this system had he or she not retired but had continued in employment with the city, without interruption, as a firefighter or police officer, the participant’s spousal survivor shall not receive any benefit therefrom. However, should the retired firefighter or police officer die after the date on which he or she would have accumulated 30 years of credited service hereunder and be survived by a spouse to whom he or she was legally married at the time of the retiree’s or participant’s death, regardless of whether the marriage occurred before or after the participant’s departure from service, a spousal survivor’s benefit may be payable pursuant to any of the following:

(1) Upon the retirement of the legally married participant, prior to payment of any retirement benefit and in accordance with procedures established by the city, the participant shall elect to either: a. Provide a spousal survivor’s benefit upon the participant’s death; or b. receive an unreduced monthly retirement benefit.

(2) If a participant elects to provide a spousal survivor’s benefit, then upon the participant’s death: a. The monthly spousal survivor’s benefit shall be equal to 60 percent of the monthly retirement benefit which the retiree was receiving or was entitled to receive prior to his or her death or which the participant would have been entitled to receive had he or she retired on the day preceding his or her death as if the surviving spouse was entitled to a benefit under Section 45-37A-51.228(c) and Section 45-37A-51.229; and b. the monthly retirement benefit payable to the participant during his or her life will be reduced to reflect the spousal survivor’s benefit on an actuarially equivalent basis pursuant to certain actuarial factors adopted by the board. The survivor’s benefit shall cease if the survivor remarries; provided, however, in the event the survivor remarries and that marriage is terminated by annulment, divorce, or death of the survivor’s spouse, then on such termination, the survivor again shall be eligible to receive the survivor’s benefit.

(3) If a legally married participant elects to receive an unreduced monthly retirement benefit, then upon the participant’s death, no monthly spousal survivor’s benefit will be payable, and the monthly retirement benefit payable to the participant during his or her life will not be reduced to reflect any spousal survivor’s benefit. To effect a participant’s election to receive an unreduced monthly retirement benefit, the participant’s spouse, at the time of the participant’s election, shall agree to the participant’s election and waive any spousal survivor’s benefits in accordance with procedures established by the city.

Status: in_force

(a) The City of Bessemer, Alabama, by ordinance, may provide for the implementation of an automated traffic safety system within the city as provided for in this part.

(b) The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(1) Vehicles that violate traffic control regulations and signage have been and are a dangerous problem in the City of Bessemer, Alabama.

(2) Studies have found that automated traffic camera enforcement in a municipal area is a highly accurate method for detecting violations of traffic control regulations and signage and is very effective in reducing the number of traffic violations and decreasing the number of traffic accidents, deaths, and injuries.

(3) Current Alabama law provides that failing to stop and remain stopped at a traffic-control signal which is emitting a steady red signal is a criminal misdemeanor. Current Alabama law also provides that failing to abide by traffic signage or speed limits is also a criminal misdemeanor. Under Alabama law one who commits any of these misdemeanors is subject to prosecution only if the misdemeanor was witnessed by either a duly empowered police officer or other witness who makes a verified complaint to a sworn magistrate.

(4) A reduction in the number of drivers exceeding speed limits and running red lights and stop signs through a program utilizing photographic evidence and enforcement through the imposition of civil fines will help promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Bessemer. A duly enacted local act of the Legislature could grant to the City of Bessemer the authority to establish a program to enforce traffic signal violations, stop sign violations, and speeding violations by the use of photographic evidence and the imposition of civil fines.

(5) By providing for the use of automated traffic cameras in traffic signal enforcement, stop sign enforcement, and speed limit enforcement in the City of Bessemer, the Legislature expects to decrease the occurrence in the city of traffic signal violations, stop sign violations, and speeding violations.
