Title

Supernumerary circuit clerks, eligible to receive certain retirement benefits under certain conditions, Sec. 36-27-8.2 am'd.

Summary

HB655 would let supernumerary circuit clerks receive retirement benefits and set rules for retirees serving in that role.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends the retirement law to allow a supernumerary circuit clerk to be eligible for retirement benefits while serving. It lays out conditions for retirees who work in such roles, including limits on earnings, a CPI-based increase to those limits, and a requirement for employer compliance. It also lets retirees from any state-funded retirement program receive additional retirement benefits when serving as a supernumerary circuit clerk, as long as they have not earned credit previously for benefits under the clerks' program.

Who It Affects

• Supernumerary circuit clerks who are retired or may become retired and want to work in that role while drawing retirement benefits.
• Retired employees from any state-funded retirement program who serve as supernumerary circuit clerks and seek additional retirement benefits beyond the clerks' program (subject to the no-previous-credit condition).

Key Provisions

• Provision 1: Amends Section 36-27-8.2 to allow supernumerary circuit clerks to be eligible to receive retirement benefits, with specific rules on earnings limits (starting with $17,000 in 2000, adjusted annually by CPI, rounded to the nearest lower $1,000) and conditions for not being employed in a permanent full-time capacity.
• Provision 2: Provides that a person retired from a state-funded retirement program who serves as a supernumerary circuit clerk may receive retirement benefits in addition to benefits under the clerks' and registers' supernumerary program, if they have not received credit in the Retirement Systems for any period used to qualify for benefits under that program.
