2019 Senate Bill 592 / 2020 Public Act 314

Allow "double dipping" for corrections pensioners

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 16, 2019

Introduced by Sen. Ed McBroom (R-38)

To allow "retired" state prison employees to collect a pension while also getting paid to do corrections work as an independent contractor, or employed by one. Versions of this law are often passed when government agency employees who are permitted to begin collecting full pensions at a comparatively early age take advantage of this rather than continuing to work until a more typical retirement age.
