Summary

The measure updates the maximum hours a public retiree can work from 1,200 to 1,320 per year and creates new rules for retirees who receive pensions from other states but are hired by Commonwealth public employers. It requires employers to report such hires, sets earnings and hour caps, imposes penalties for violations, and encourages hiring of in‑state retirees. The changes aim to protect pension integrity while managing post‑retirement employment.
