A bill for an act relating to annuities paid by the judicial retirement system, and including effective date provisions.

This bill (SF 2254) amends Iowa's judicial retirement system rules to allow retired judges serving in the Iowa General Assembly to continue receiving their judicial retirement annuities. Currently, the system prohibits annuity payments to anyone serving as a state officer or employee, but this change creates an exception specifically for retired judges in the legislature. The key provision modifies Section 602.9110 of Iowa Code to explicitly permit these annuity payments during legislative service. The bill takes effect in January 2027, coinciding with the convening of the 92nd General Assembly.
