An Act amending Title 24 (Education) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions relating to retirement for school employees, further providing for definitions.

HB 1428 amends Pennsylvania's education code to clarify which school-related organizations are considered "governmental entities" for retirement purposes. It specifically adds career and technical education boards to the definition while excluding associations that collect membership dues from public schools under the Public School Code. This change affects new school employees hired after the law takes effect, ensuring those associations are not treated as nonparticipating employers in retirement plans. The bill directly adjusts how retirement benefits are administered for these employees by defining which entities sponsor retirement coverage.
