House Bill 31 by Representative Frank Hoffmann authorizes retirees of the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL) to return to work as a school psychologist in a critical shortage area without reduction of retirement benefits.
The purpose of the measure is to authorize the reemployment of school psychologists in critical shortage areas, noted the author. "Critical shortage" means any situation where there exists a shortage of certified school psychologists.
Present law generally provides that a retiree of TRSL may not return to work in a position covered by the system and continue to receive his benefit check while reemployed.
According to the digest, present law provides procedures for establishing that a "critical shortage area" exists for purposes of present law. The proposed law retains present law and requires such certification procedures before a retiree may be reemployed as a school psychologist pursuant to proposed law.
