A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend Code Section 47-3-127.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to employment of a retired teacher as a full-time teacher or in other capacities, so as to provide that a retired speech-language pathologist may return to work on a full-time basis and continue receiving a full retirement benefit; to provide conditions for an effective date and automatic repeal; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

Code Section 47-3-127.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to employment of a retired teacher as a full-time teacher or in other capacities, is amended by revising paragraph (1) of subsection (b) as follows:

"(b)(1) A public school system may employ a retired teacher as a full-time classroom teacher, principal, superintendent, media specialist, speech-language pathologist, or counselor, and such person shall be subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Code section; provided, however, that a retired teacher who retired as a principal may not be employed as a principal in the same school in which he or she was so employed prior to his or her retirement, and a retired teacher who retired as a school superintendent may not be employed as a school superintendent by the same school system in which such person was so employed prior to his or her retirement."

SECTION 2.

Said Code section is further amended by revising subsection (c) as follows:

"(c) Any other provision of this article to the contrary notwithstanding, a retired teacher may return to service as a classroom teacher, principal, superintendent, media specialist, speech-language pathologist, or counselor, and such retired teacher's benefits under this article shall not be affected. Any such retired teacher so employed shall not be considered an active member of this retirement system and shall not accrue any additional benefits or further creditable service as a result of such employment and shall in all ways be considered by this retirement system solely as a beneficiary. The provisions of this subsection shall not become a part of the employment contract and shall be subject to future legislation."

SECTION 3.

This Act shall become effective on July 1, 2010, only if it is determined to have been concurrently funded as provided in Chapter 20 of Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the "Public Retirement Systems Standards Law"; otherwise, this Act shall not become effective and shall be automatically repealed in its entirety on July 1, 2010, as required by subsection (a) of Code Section 47-20-50.

SECTION 4.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
