Bill > HB1459

This bill clarifies and standardizes the application of part-time hour limits for retirees in the New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS). Specifically, the bill allows retirees who retired before January 1, 2019, and were working in part-time positions at the 1,664-hour annual limit as of that date to continue working up to 1,664 hours per calendar year, even if they change positions or employers. To maintain this grandfathered status, retirees must continue working part-time without a break in employment longer than 28 days and cannot be reinstated to a position requiring mandatory NHRS membership. The bill ensures that retirees can move between part-time positions with different job titles, duties, or employers while retaining their higher hourly limit. This legislation provides flexibility for certain retirees who were working part-time at a specific hour limit before 2019, allowing them to continue their employment arrangements without penalty. The bill has no immediate fiscal impact and is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
