# The Firefighters’ Pension Schemes (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Order 2024, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order further amends the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (Scotland) Order 2007, following amendments made to that Order by the Firefighters’ Pension Schemes (Scotland) Amendment Order 2024, extending the period during which persons who were employed in Scotland as retained firefighters have access to a pension scheme.
This Order amends the date of that extended period, and the dates by which applications for death grants must be made in certain circumstances, so that similar rules apply to affected retained firefighters in Scotland as to affected retained firefighters in the rest of the United Kingdom.
