Extends certain provisions of P.L. 2021, c.498.
Senate Bill 3176 would have extended a law allowing retired state legislators who were members of the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) to return to part-time work with the Legislature without losing retirement benefits. It would have increased the maximum return period from four to seven years and removed previous restrictions limiting eligibility to those retiring during specific calendar years (2021-2024). The bill required retirees to have had a "bona fide retirement" (not prearranged), work ≤20 hours weekly, and meet age requirements. However, the bill was withdrawn after being superseded by P.L.2025, c.321.
