The bill amends Section 36-10-36 of the General Laws regarding post-retirement employment for members who have retired under titles 16, 36, or 45. It establishes that retired members may not be employed by any state agency or department unless their retirement benefits are suspended during their employment. However, it allows retired members to work for municipalities that participate in the municipal employees retirement system for a limited number of days without losing their retirement benefits. The bill outlines specific conditions under which retired members can serve in various roles, including as elected officials or part-time employees in educational institutions, while still receiving their retirement allowances.

Notably, the bill introduces the provision that retired members can serve as members of the Rhode Island state labor relations board without forfeiting their retirement benefits. It specifies that no additional service credits will be granted for any post-retirement employment, and it requires monthly notifications to the retirement board regarding such employment. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
