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 introduces new provisions that allow retired members to serve as a member of the Rhode Island state labor relations board without forfeiting their retirement benefits. Additionally, it maintains existing regulations that restrict post-retirement employment with state agencies unless retirement benefits are suspended, and it outlines specific conditions under which retired members can work for municipalities or in certain educational roles without losing their retirement allowances.

Key changes include the insertion of the phrase "Rhode Island state labor relations board member," which allows retired members to serve in this capacity while still receiving their retirement benefits. The bill also clarifies 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. Overall, the act aims to provide more flexibility for retired members while ensuring that their retirement benefits remain intact. The bill will take effect upon passage.
