Introduced By: Representatives C Lima, Hull, Phillips, Fenton-Fung, Noret, McNamara, Corvese, and Serpa |
| Date Introduced: March 02, 2022 |
| It is enacted by the General Assembly as follows: |
| SECTION 1. Section 45-21-54 of the General Laws in Chapter 45-21 entitled "Retirement |
| of Municipal Employees" is hereby amended to read as follows: |
| 45-21-54. Reemployment of retired members. |
| Any retired member of the system is permitted to reenter the service of the system for not |
| more than seventy-five (75) working days in a calendar year without interruption of pension |
| benefits. Pension payments, however, are suspended when that period is exceeded. This seventy- |
| five-(75) day (75) rule shall not apply to police officers, as defined in ยง 28-9.2-3, for the purposes |
| of their working private details, paid for by a nongovernmental entity. If the retired member |
| continues in service beyond the seventy-five-(75) day (75) period (with his or her annuity |
| temporarily suspended) the member is not eligible for pension credit for the additional service, nor |
| is the member required to make pension contributions for this service; provided, that any retired |
| member of the system is permitted to serve as an elected city or town council member or school |
| committee member and continues to be eligible for and receive the retirement allowance for service |
| other than that as a council member or school committee member. |
| SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage. |
