S 4266 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits retired municipal code officials to return to part-time employment after 90-day period without reenrollment in PERS.

This bill allows retired municipal code officials in New Jersey to return to part-time work without losing their retirement benefits or needing to rejoin the pension system. To qualify, the official must wait at least 90 days after retiring, have reached the required retirement age, and work no more than 20 hours per week. The legislation adds a new provision to the existing state retirement law to create this specific exception for code officials, distinguishing them from other retirees who typically must re-enroll in the pension plan if they take new employment.
