Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to provide that the number of days a retired teacher may accept employment may extend beyond 140 days under specific conditions; and to prohibit reduction of benefits or requiring additional contributions for retirement benefits.
AI Summary
This bill removes the current 140-day annual limit on how many days a retired teacher can work before their retirement benefits are reduced, allowing retired teachers to work beyond this limit without penalty if there are teaching vacancies and a demonstrated need for educators. The bill also clarifies how days worked by substitute teachers will be calculated, by totaling their hours and dividing by the standard hours of a full-time teacher, ensuring that the Consolidated Public Retirement Board, which oversees retirement benefits for public employees, cannot establish a rule that sets this limit below 140 days.
