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 existing definition of "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, specifically the references to the State Education Resource Center, which are no longer deemed necessary. The changes are intended to ensure that employees of the Connecticut Association of Schools are recognized within the framework of the Teachers' Retirement System, thereby allowing them access to the benefits associated with it. The act is set to take effect upon passage, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity within the educational workforce in Connecticut.
