The bill amends Section 36-10-36 of the General Laws regarding post-retirement employment for retired state employees. It allows retired members who worked for the unified judicial system as 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. This 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 may do so without forfeiture or reduction of their retirement benefits, and no additional service credits shall be granted for this service. Pension payments will be suspended if the employment period exceeds the specified limits. Additionally, 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 will take effect upon passage.
