Summary

The bill updates the State Teachers’ Retirement System by expanding what counts as a retired member activity, changing how sick‑leave days are calculated, and tightening investment‑diversification requirements. It also shortens the notice window for part‑time and substitute staff to elect plan membership to 10 working days and revises the timing and interaction of service‑retirement and disability allowances. These changes affect current and future STRS members, school districts, and the retirement board.
