SB2953 extends the period for retired teachers to accept teaching employment without impairing retirement benefits.

SB2953 amends the Illinois Pension Code to allow retired teachers to accept teaching employment without impairing their retirement status until June 30, 2029. Previously, this benefit was available until June 30, 2026. The bill also specifies the maximum number of paid days or hours a retired teacher can work in a school year, varying by period. This change aims to provide flexibility for retired teachers who wish to continue working in education.
