The bill clarifies how retirement benefits are calculated and handled for these reemployed retirees, outlining two methods for computing additional benefits based on new service. It also includes a provision regarding a one-year restriction on retirees being rehired by their former employer, with an exception if they waive benefits and return as a bona fide employee.
