This bill allows retired members of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System or local retirement funds to return to work in covered positions without losing their pension benefits, provided they meet specific criteria. The law also permits law enforcement agencies to hire retired personnel as full-time school resource officers under similar conditions. A key change in the legislation reduces the time limit for reemployment from sixty days to thirty days after retirement. These provisions are authorized until June 30, 2026, and apply to both state and local retirement systems.
