AI Summary

This bill permits public school systems in Georgia to employ certain retired teachers who have at least 30 years of creditable service in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. The retired teachers must be employed as full-time certified teachers in areas of highest need determined by the state's Regional Education Service Agencies (RESAs). The employers must make employer and employee contributions to the retirement system on behalf of the employed beneficiaries, but the employment will not entitle the beneficiaries to additional retirement benefits. The bill also requires the state auditor to conduct a performance audit on the provisions of the bill by July 1, 2025.
