HB 597 -- SCHOOL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEMS

SPONSOR: Crossley

When a Public School Retirement System school district has declared a shortage of noncertificated employees, it can employ a retired noncertificated employee for up to four years without affecting the noncertified employee's retirement benefit. Currently, a cap of the lesser of 10% of noncertificated staff or five employees is in place.

This bill changes the cap to the greater of 1% of the total of certificated teachers and noncertificated staff or five employees.

This bill is the same as HB 1722 (2024).
