Bill > H7156

This bill allows retired superior court magistrates to be assigned to perform specific judicial services, as directed by the chief justice of the supreme court, and to be reemployed by the superior court without losing or having their retirement benefits reduced. These services are outlined in sections 8-2-11.1, 8-2-39, 8-2-39.1, or 8-2-39.2 of the General Laws, which define the roles and powers of various magistrates, including administrator/magistrates, general magistrates, special magistrates, and drug court magistrates. The bill also amends section 36-10-36 of the General Laws, which governs post-retirement employment, to include this provision for retired superior court magistrates. The intention is to enable experienced retired magistrates to continue contributing to the court system while protecting their earned retirement benefits.
