I want to start by apologizing by not doing my research before posting. The bill isn't for retired LEO, but for off-duty LEO. I think the reason is because there is a fear that an off-duty officer will be attacked by a criminal he/she put away in the past. This may not be ideal, I just think it's a step forward.
I did also find this link.
