Bill > SB141

This bill modifies the definition of "governmental entity" in Pennsylvania's retirement statutes for school employees by clarifying that an association authorized to receive membership dues from a public school entity under section 516 of the Public School Code is not considered a governmental entity. The bill specifically states that this change will apply only to employees hired after the bill's effective date, and ensures that such an association will not be classified as a nonparticipating employer in the retirement system as long as it maintains any active participants. The amendment appears to be a technical change that provides more precise language about which organizations are considered governmental entities for the purposes of school employee retirement, with the goal of maintaining retirement system participation and clarity about organizational classification. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, which means the changes will be implemented right away.
