Bill > HB17

This bill modifies the rules for retirees reemployed within the District Attorneys' Retirement System, which is a pension fund for district attorneys and their staff. Previously, if a retiree was reemployed by a district attorney, their retirement benefits would be suspended, and they would become an active contributing member again, potentially earning additional service credit and a supplemental retirement benefit. This bill expands the scope of reemployment to include any "employer" in the state, not just district attorneys, and allows retirees to establish service credit for full-time employment since returning to work after retirement by paying into the system what would have been withheld. It also clarifies that if a retiree is reemployed by any district attorney or employer and meets specific requirements, their benefits will not be suspended, they will not be considered a member, and they will not earn additional service credit or be required to pay contributions, provided their salary consists exclusively of non-state funds and is below a certain threshold.
