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 be employed or reemployed by municipalities and state agencies under specific conditions, including the suspension of retirement benefits during employment. Notably, the bill changes the gross pay amount a retired teacher or state employee certified to teach driver education can earn as part-time income from $15,000 to $25,000 in any one calendar year.

Additionally, the bill outlines various roles that retired members can take on without forfeiting their retirement benefits, such as serving as elected officials, part-time instructors at state colleges, or providing professional nursing care. It specifies that no additional service credits will be granted for these roles, and any employment must be reported to the retirement board. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
