Expands categories of employment for retirees without losing benefits in Hawaii.

This bill amends Hawaii law to allow retirees to be reemployed in certain positions without losing their retirement benefits. It adds new categories of employment, including positions identified as labor shortages or difficult-to-fill, teachers in shortage areas, administrators in charter schools, and mentors for new teachers. Retirees must not have been employed by the state or a county in the months leading up to reemployment and must not have pre-retirement agreements with the state or a county. The bill also requires contributions to the pension fund from the appropriate departments.
