This bill amends the definition of "part-time" employment for retired members of the New Hampshire retirement system by increasing the maximum allowable hours from 1,352 to 1,664 hours per calendar year. It also eliminates the previous 28-day waiting period that retired members had to observe before being employed on a part-time basis. Additionally, the bill specifies that certain detail assignments performed by retired law enforcement officers will not count towards the maximum hours cap, thereby allowing them to work these assignments without affecting their part-time employment status.

The bill does not provide any funding or authorize new positions, and its fiscal impact is indeterminable, as it is unclear how many employers will adopt the new provisions. The New Hampshire Retirement System has indicated that the changes could lead to an increase in expenditures, but the exact financial implications remain uncertain. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
