AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES -- RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFITS

Summary

The bill amends Rhode Island law to generally suspend retirement benefits if a former state employee works for a state agency again, and it bars additional service credits or contribution deductions. It creates narrow exceptions for police details, short‑term municipal work, elected officials, part‑time teaching, driver‑education, nursing, and certain judicial roles, allowing those retirees to earn limited pay without forfeiting pensions. The changes aim to prevent double‑dipping while still letting retirees contribute in specific capacities.
