HB 2682 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Pensions and Retirement Benefits - As enacted, authorizes, until June 30, 2026, a retired member of the Tennessee consolidated retirement system, or of a local retirement fund, to be reemployed in a position covered by the retirement system without the loss or suspension of the member's retirement benefits if the member meets certain criteria; authorizes, until June 30, 2026, a law enforcement agency to employ a retired member for a full-time school resource officer position if certain criteria are met. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 36, Part 8.

This bill allows retired members of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System or local retirement funds to return to work without losing their pension benefits, provided they meet specific criteria. It authorizes law enforcement agencies to hire these retirees as full-time school resource officers until June 30, 2026. The law also shortens the time limit for reemployment from sixty days to thirty days after retirement. These changes apply to individuals who have already retired and wish to return to covered positions under the system.
