Bill > H7806

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 stipulation that required such reemployment to 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 aims to provide municipalities with greater flexibility in hiring experienced individuals, particularly those who have already retired from state service, and ensures these individuals can continue to receive their full retirement pensions while working for a local government. The act takes effect immediately upon its passage.
