Relating to: rehired annuitants. (FE)

AB 376 repeals key sections of Wisconsin retirement law that required retirees (annuitants) rehired by state agencies to suspend their retirement payments. Specifically, it removes provisions (40.26(1m), 40.26(5m), and 40.26(6)) that mandated annuity suspension when retirees returned to state employment. The bill also amends related statutes to clarify that rehired retirees no longer automatically trigger payment suspension under previous rules. This change directly affects state retirees who return to work for participating employers and the state agencies that employ them. The policy shift simplifies the process by eliminating the requirement to suspend retirement benefits upon rehiring.
