SF 2120 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to bona fide retirement and subsequent employment as school district support staff or a coach under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system.

SF 2120 modifies Iowa's public employees' retirement system rules for school district support staff and coaches. It allows members who have received one month of retirement benefits to return to covered employment with a school district, instead of requiring them to wait four months under current law. The bill directly affects Iowa public employees in these specific school roles who retire and later seek reemployment. This change simplifies the process for returning to work after retirement by reducing the required waiting period from four to one month.
