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 be employed or reemployed by various state and municipal entities under specific conditions, including limitations on the duration of employment and the requirement that no additional service credits or contributions be granted.

Specifically, the bill introduces new provisions allowing retired members who retired as Rhode Island Supreme Court certified or qualified court interpreters to be employed or reemployed on a per-diem basis to provide court interpretation services within the Rhode Island unified judicial system. The employment is limited to a maximum of seventy-five (75) working days or one hundred fifty (150) half days with half pay in any one calendar year. Retired court interpreters providing such services shall do so without forfeiture or reduction of any retirement benefits or allowances they are receiving. However, pension payments will be suspended if the employment period exceeds the specified limits, and no additional contributions or service credits will be granted for this service.

Notice of this employment or re-employment must be sent monthly to the retirement board by both the employer and the retired member. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
