This bill amends Titles 24 (Education) and 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, focusing on the termination of annuities and the eligibility of annuitants to return to school service. Key changes include the removal of restrictions on returning to school service during emergencies or in extracurricular positions, allowing annuitants to return under specific conditions. New provisions are added to permit annuitants to work as part-time instructors in police training or emergency medical services without losing their annuity, while also clarifying that such service will not be subject to member contributions or qualify as creditable service.

Additionally, the bill modifies the rules regarding annuitants returning to state service, specifying that those who return after January 1, 2019, will resume active membership in the system. It introduces new categories of service that do not require contributions or qualify for creditable service, including roles as part-time fire instructors and police training instructors. The act is set to take effect immediately and applies to service performed after its effective date, regardless of when the annuitant's service began.
