Bill > H7395

This bill amends existing law to allow paid members of the Rhode Island State Labor Relations Board to continue receiving their retirement benefits while serving on the board, without forfeiting or reducing those benefits, and without earning additional service credits. The Rhode Island State Labor Relations Board is an entity that oversees labor disputes and relations within the state. This change is part of a larger section of law (36-10-36) that outlines rules for post-retirement employment and how it affects retirement benefits, generally requiring benefits to be suspended if a retired person is re-employed by the state unless specific exceptions apply. This bill adds paid board members to one of those exceptions, and it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
