Chamber Passed·6/9/26
Introduced Text

Rhode Island S2543 increases the number of days a retired municipal employee can work without losing pension benefits to 90 days or 630 hours.

Rhode Island S2543 amends the retirement rules for municipal employees, allowing them to work up to 90 days or 630 hours in a calendar year without losing pension benefits. This change increases the previous limit of 75 days or 525 hours. The bill specifies that this rule does not apply to police officers working private details paid by non-governmental entities. If a retired employee works beyond the 90-day limit, they do not receive pension credit for the additional service, but they are not required to make pension contributions for it either. The bill takes effect upon passage.
