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 allows retired state employees to be reemployed by municipalities with no restrictions on their retirement benefits. Specifically, it removes the requirement that such members must be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the highest elected chief executive officer in cities or towns subject to certain budget commission provisions. The bill does not include provisions for additional service credits for any post-retirement employment.

The act aims to provide greater flexibility for retired state employees seeking to return to work in municipal roles while preserving their retirement allowances. The act will take effect upon passage.
