Introduced
by
To revise the law that allows retired teachers to return to work in certain school districts or in certain academic subjects where there is deemed to be a teacher shortage, and not have their pension benefits reduced. In other words, a "retired" teacher may simultaneously collect both a pension check and a paycheck for working. Under current law, the a “retired” teacher already collecting a pension can also collect a salary for up to six years. The bill would extend this to 10 years.
Referred to the Committee on Education
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-6) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that extends the time during which a “retired” teacher already collecting a pension can also collect a salary for from six years to eight years, rather than 10 years in the original version of the bill.
