The bill titled "An Act relative to the cap on work hours for retirees" proposes amendments to the existing regulations regarding the maximum number of work hours that retirees can engage in without affecting their retirement benefits. Specifically, it seeks to increase the cap from nine hundred and sixty hours to fifteen hundred hours. This change is reflected in the amendments to subsection (b) and subsection (c) of section 91 of chapter 32 of the General Laws, where the current limit is replaced with the new, higher limit.

By raising the cap on work hours for retirees, the bill aims to provide greater flexibility for retired individuals who wish to re-enter the workforce or take on part-time employment without jeopardizing their retirement benefits. This adjustment acknowledges the evolving needs of retirees and the potential benefits of allowing them to work more hours while still receiving their pensions.
