How can I learn more about the 03/2023 temporary update to R.I.G.L. 16-16-24.2 for teachers and school employees?

Under current law, RIGL§16-16-24, members who retired under the provisions of titles 36, 16 and 45 can substitute teach or fill a vacant position for no more than 90 days in a school year without impacting their pension benefit. On March 22, 2023, Governor McKee signed into law Rhode Island General Law (RIGL)§16-16-24.2, which allows substitute teaching and post-retirement employment to exceed the ninety (90) day cap if certain conditions are met. This act will sunset on June 20, 2024. Click here to read the update memo from ERSRI.
