AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- RETIREMENT OF MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES

This bill proposes to increase the number of days retired municipal employees can work without losing their pension benefits from 75 to 90 days per calendar year. Under the current rules, any work beyond this limit would temporarily suspend pension payments, whereas this change would allow for slightly more flexibility in returning to work. The provision specifically excludes police officers from this rule when they work on private details paid for by non-governmental entities. Additionally, retired members would continue to receive their full pension while serving as elected city council or school committee members.
