    Bill No. SB 958
    Amendment No. 1   Barcode 522502
 1  school boards reemploying such teachers, education
 2  paraprofessionals, transportation assistants, bus drivers, or
 3  food service workers are subject to the retirement
 4  contribution required by subparagraph 7.  Reemployment of a
 5  retired member as a substitute or hourly teacher, education
 6  paraprofessional, transportation assistant, bus driver, or
 7  food service worker is limited to 780 hours during the first
 8  12 months of his or her retirement.  Any retired member
 9  reemployed for more than 780 hours during his or her first 12
10  months of retirement shall give timely notice in writing to
11  the employer and to the division of the date he or she will
12  exceed the limitation.  The division shall suspend his or her
13  retirement benefits for the remainder of the first 12 months
14  of retirement.  Any person employed in violation of this
15  subparagraph and any employing agency which knowingly employs
16  or appoints such person without notifying the Division of
17  Retirement to suspend retirement benefits shall be jointly and
18  severally liable for reimbursement to the retirement trust
19  fund of any benefits paid during the reemployment limitation
20  period.  To avoid liability, such employing agency shall have
21  a written statement from the retiree that he or she is not
22  retired from a state-administered retirement system.  Any
23  retirement benefits received by a retired member while
24  reemployed in excess of 780 hours during the first 12 months
25  of retirement shall be repaid to the Retirement System Trust
26  Fund, and his or her retirement benefits shall remain
27  suspended until repayment is made.  Benefits suspended beyond
28  the end of the retired member's first 12 months of retirement
29  shall apply toward repayment of benefits received in violation
30  of the 780-hour reemployment limitation.
