Automatic summary, not yet reviewed
- The bill would add a new provision to the General Social Security Law recognizing the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Customs Surveillance Service as entitled to a retirement age reduction coefficient due to the dangerous nature of their work.
- The retirement age would be reduced by applying a 0.20 coefficient to the full years actually worked in those bodies. No one could retire before age 60, except those who prove 35 or more years of activity, who could retire at 59.
- The reduction period would count as contributions to calculate the pension amount, and an additional contribution rate would apply to both employer and worker. The system would only take effect once the Government funds it in the next State Budgets.
- The law would take effect the day after its publication in the BOE, except for measures with budgetary cost, which would wait until the following fiscal year.

- Members of the National Police Corps (Cuerpo de la Policía Nacional): Could retire before the ordinary age and count that time as contributions.

- Officials of the Customs Surveillance Service (Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera): Could retire before the ordinary age and count that time as contributions.
