The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1524, aims to amend the Teachers' Retirement System to include employees of the Connecticut Association of Schools. Specifically, the bill modifies several definitions within section 10-183b of the general statutes. It replaces the term "Employer" to include the Connecticut Association of Schools, and it updates the definition of "Public school" to also encompass the Connecticut Association of Schools. Additionally, the definition of "Teacher" is expanded to include administrative or support staff members employed by the Connecticut Association of Schools.

The bill repeals certain existing language, such as references to the State Education Resource Center, and substitutes it with the inclusion of the Connecticut Association of Schools in relevant definitions. This change is intended to ensure that employees of the Connecticut Association of Schools are eligible for benefits under the Teachers' Retirement System, thereby recognizing their contributions to the educational system in Connecticut. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
