RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES - RETIREMENT OF MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES - REEMPLOYMENT OF POLICE OFFICERS

Introduced By: Senators F Lombardi, Ciccone, Lombardo, Gallo, and McCaffrey

Date Introduced: March 01, 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.
