## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations correct minor errors in the Teachers’ Pensions (Remediable Service) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (“the 2023 Regulations”), in particular, in relation to the definitions of “election” and “eligible decision-maker”.
The 2023 Regulations were made under the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 and the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 to remedy the unlawful discrimination on the basis of age that was found to result from the transitional protections afforded to certain cohorts of members of Chapter 1 legacy schemes, as defined in the latter Act.
