AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow retired state employees to be reemployed by any municipality without any restrictions or loss of their existing retirement benefits, removing a previous requirement that such reemployment be at the pleasure of the highest elected chief executive officer in certain cities or towns. The bill also clarifies that no additional service credits will be granted for this post-retirement municipal employment. This change is intended to provide greater flexibility for retired state workers to contribute to local government. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
