Restores rights for retired school administrators and staff to work up to 180 days per school year.

Rhode Island H8170 amends the General Laws to allow retired school administrators and staff to exceed the 90-day cap on post-retirement employment and work up to 180 days during a school year. This change is contingent on the local education authority determining a specialized need and certifying that non-retired employees were not available. The act applies retroactively to June 20, 2025, and will sunset one year from enactment or August 1, 2027, whichever is later.
