Bill Summary
This act would expand the post-retirement positions that any retired member in the state retirement system could have at a state college or university, to include positions outside of teaching, but would maintain the same cap on the amount of money that person could be paid for part-time work. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill expands the types of positions that a retired member of the state retirement system can hold at a state college or university without losing their retirement benefits, specifically allowing them to take on roles beyond teaching, academic advising, or coaching. While the types of eligible positions are broadened, the bill maintains the existing cap on how much a retired individual can earn from such part-time work, which is currently set at $25,000 per calendar year. This change aims to allow retired individuals to contribute their expertise in a wider range of capacities within higher education institutions while still adhering to financial limitations on their post-retirement earnings.
