Hancock County adopts Special Plan 3C for law enforcement future service
Summary
The Hancock County Commissioners voted June 16 to adopt Special Plan 3C for full‑time law enforcement officers’ future service (effective July 1, 2026), clarified how prior service remains covered under other MainePERS plans, and authorized the commission chair to sign the amended agreement.
Hancock County Commissioners voted unanimously on June 16 to change pension plan enrollment for certain law enforcement officers, adopting MainePERS Special Plan 3C for future service effective July 1, 2026. The motion clarifies that service rendered before July 1, 2026, for officers employed and participating in MainePERS on Aug. 1, 2023, remains under Special Plan 2C, and it preserves other legacy plan assignments (Special Plan 4C, Regular Plan AC) for specified prior service windows.
The board also directed that Regular Plan AC continue to apply to other full‑time county employees and elected/appointed officials, and explicitly excluded part‑time, seasonal and temporary employees from participating in the amended plan. Commissioners authorized County Commission Chair John Wombacher to sign the amended agreement between Hancock County and the Maine Public Employees Retirement System.
Commissioners recorded the motion as approved 3‑0 (Clark/DiBella). The minutes do not record further debate or financial modeling in the meeting record; staff follow‑up on implementation details was not specified in the transcript.
