Rhode Island S2027 raises the maximum annual income limit for retired teachers teaching driver education from $15,000 to $25,000.

Rhode Island S2027 amends the state's retirement system to increase the maximum annual income limit for retired teachers who provide classroom instruction in driver education courses from $15,000 to $25,000. This change allows retired teachers to earn more part-time income without losing their retirement benefits. The bill specifies that no additional service credits will be granted for this part-time employment, and it takes effect upon passage.
