Bill Summary
RELATING TO THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM; AMENDING SECTION 59-1356, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE A PROVISION REGARDING THE REEMPLOYMENT OF RETIRED MEM
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law concerning the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI) to allow a retired member who is elected or appointed to an elective public office, other than an office they held prior to retirement, to choose to continue receiving their retirement benefits without accruing additional service credit. This means that if a retired individual takes on a new elected position, they can opt to keep their current retirement allowance and will not have to make or have their employer make further contributions to the retirement system for this new role, effectively allowing them to hold public office while continuing to receive their retirement pay.
