Reducing the required waiting period for employment of KPERS retirants hired by a school district for a covered position that requires a teaching license or certificate.

This bill removes the standard 60-day waiting period for Kansas public school retirees (KPERS members) who return to work as licensed teachers. It specifically exempts retirees hired by school districts for covered teaching positions requiring a license or certificate from the waiting rule. The change applies to all school districts participating in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and allows immediate reemployment without the prior waiting period requirement.
