An Act amending Titles 24 (Education) and 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in membership, contributions and benefits, further providing for termination of annuities; in membership, credited service, classes of service, and eligibility for benefits relating to retirement for State employees and officers, further providing for mandatory and optional membership in the system and participation in the plan; and, in benefits, further providing for termination of annuities.

SB 782 allows Pennsylvania state retirees (annuitants) to work part-time as certified instructors in specific roles - such as police training, emergency medical services, or fire instruction - without losing their retirement annuity. The bill clarifies that service in these positions does not count toward additional retirement benefits, contributions, or creditable service under the state retirement system. This directly affects retirees employed in these approved educational roles at state institutions, schools, or agencies like the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy.
