Introduced
by
To revise a law that allows certain retired school employees to work in schools that need more staff in particular subjects while still collecting pension checks alongside their current pay. According to the House Fiscal Agency this would benefit some former staff brought back as instructors in a particular non-profit's reading program used by around 150 western Michigan schools, and like other "double dipping" exceptions in the law could potentially increase unfunded liabilities in the school pension system.

To ease or repeal a number of time limits and restrictions in a law that allows certain retired school employees to work in schools that need more staff in particular subjects while still collecting pension checks alongside their current pay. According to the Senate Fiscal Agency this would increase the cost of the state "catching up" on inadequately funded pension promises it has made to employees. The agency gives an example suggesting a $45 million annual cost, but notes it could be more depending on various assumptions in the calculation.
