AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES -- RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFITS

SB 2355 allows retired state employees to be reemployed by municipalities without losing their retirement benefits, directly affecting retired state workers seeking part-time or limited-term municipal roles. The bill removes previous restrictions that required suspending retirement benefits during reemployment, permitting up to 75 working days or 150 half-days per year (with pay suspension if exceeded) without benefit forfeiture. It specifically prohibits additional retirement contributions or service credits for this reemployment and requires monthly notices to the retirement board. The bill applies to all retired state employees under Titles 16, 36, or 45, excluding certain exempt roles like elected officials or specific teaching/nursing positions covered under separate subsections.
