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 in various elected or appointed positions, such as mayors or members of municipal boards, with the entitlement to reimbursement for mileage and an hourly wage, capped at $10,000 per year. Additionally, it allows retired members to be employed part-time in educational roles or as registered nurses without forfeiting their retirement benefits, while also specifying that no additional service credits will be granted for this post-retirement work.

The bill also deletes the term "unpaid" from the description of part-time state board or commission members, thereby allowing for compensation. It clarifies that retired members can work in specific capacities, such as general magistrates or district court magistrates, without losing their retirement benefits, while also ensuring that no additional contributions or service credits are accrued for these roles. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
