The bill, introduced by Senator Abraham, enacts R.S. 11:1928.1, which establishes provisions for the reemployment of retired court reporters within the Parochial Employees' Retirement System. It allows retirees aged sixty-five or older, who have been retired for at least three years, to return to full-time service as court reporters without having their retirement benefits suspended during their reemployment. However, it specifies that members who retired due to disability are not eligible for reemployment under this section and will continue to be governed by existing provisions for disability retirees.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of employing agencies when reemploying retired court reporters, including notifying the board of trustees about the employment and providing annual reports on earnings. Employers must also declare their intent to reemploy a retired court reporter and certify the existence of a critical shortage of qualified court reporters before proceeding with the reemployment. The provisions of R.S. 11:1928 will not apply to retirees reemployed under this new section, and employers are required to contribute to the retirement system as stipulated. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
