Bill > HB1428

This bill amends the definition of "governmental entity" in Pennsylvania's retirement law for school employees by replacing the term "vocational-technical board" with "career and technical board" and 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 specifies that this change applies 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 state's retirement system. The change updates terminology to reflect modern educational terminology (replacing "vocational-technical" with "career and technical") and provides a specific regulatory treatment for certain school-related associations in the context of employee retirement. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt implementation of these definitional changes.
