Bill > HB2080

This bill allows the State and counties to rehire retired public employees for positions that are considered "unique and critical to operations," meaning they are essential and difficult to fill. This is intended to help stabilize government operations by utilizing the expertise and knowledge of former employees. However, these reemployed retirants will be limited to a total of four years of service in such positions, after which they must separate from employment. The bill also requires employers to contribute to the pension fund to offset the costs associated with rehiring these individuals, and annual reports will be submitted to the legislature detailing the number and types of positions filled by these reemployed retirants.
