The bill amends Section 36-10-36 of the General Laws in Chapter 36-10, which governs post-retirement employment for members who have retired under titles 16, 36, or 45. It introduces new provisions allowing retired members to be employed or reemployed by state agencies, municipalities, or educational institutions without forfeiting their retirement benefits, provided they adhere to specific conditions. Retired members can work a limited number of days or hours in roles such as elected officials, part-time educators, or healthcare providers, with the stipulation that no additional service credits will be granted for this post-retirement work. The bill also allows certain retired members, like general magistrates or district court magistrates, to be reemployed without losing benefits, as long as they do not receive compensation for their services. Additionally, the bill deletes the word "and" at the end of the section, indicating a restructuring of the legal text.

Furthermore, the bill expands opportunities for retired members to serve as municipal employees without losing retirement benefits if appointed by the highest elected chief executive officer in cities or towns under specific budget commission provisions. It also allows certified or qualified court interpreters to be employed on a per-diem basis for court interpretation services within the Rhode Island unified judicial system, limited to a maximum of seventy-five working days or one hundred fifty half days per calendar year. Importantly, no additional service credits will be granted for this employment, and pension payments will be suspended if the employment exceeds the specified limits. Both the employer and the retired member are required to send monthly notices of this employment to the retirement board, and the act will take effect upon passage.
