Eliminates salary reference for retired members of PERS returning to employment in teaching staff positions.
S 707 eliminates a $10,000 annual salary threshold for retired Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) members returning to teaching positions at public institutions of higher education. Currently, such retirees were exempt from having retirement benefits canceled only if their salary exceeded $10,000 per year, but this bill removes that requirement entirely. The change ensures retired PERS members returning to teaching roles at public colleges or universities are fully exempt from retirement re-enrollment rules regardless of their salary. This update aligns the law with legislative intent to exempt these retirees without salary conditions, removing an outdated reference to prior legislation.
