More detail
Participating school districts could hire eligible retirees for licensed teaching jobs after a 45-day wait without suspending benefits because of an earnings limit. This applies to retirees hired by participating school districts for covered jobs that require a teaching license or certificate. The retiree must have no prearranged agreement with the district. The text does not state an earnings cap for this exemption. The retiree must not be hired until at least 45 days after retirement. If enacted, the bill would take effect after publication in the Kansas Register.
