An Act relative to post retirement earnings

H 20, "An Act relative to post retirement earnings," implements recommendations from the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission regarding how much retired public employees can earn after retirement. It directly affects state and local government retirees who may take part-time jobs or other income-earning activities while receiving retirement benefits. The bill changes existing rules that limit post-retirement earnings to adjust the current restrictions on allowable income. Specific provisions are based on the commission's proposals to modify these earnings limits for retirees.
