Eliminates earning limitations for retired persons in positions of public service
This bill eliminates income restrictions for retired public employees who return to work in government positions starting in 2025. It amends retirement law to remove the existing earnings limit, meaning retirees in public service roles (like teachers, police, or government staff) can now earn full salary without penalty. The key change is a new provision in Section 212 that explicitly states there shall be "no earning limitation" for these retirees from 2025 forward. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
