STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six

AN ACT
exempting certain retirees from the 28-day waiting period for part-time employment.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 Retirement System; Part-time Employment; Exceptions. Amend RSA 100-A:1, XXXIV to read as follows:
XXXIV. "Part-time" for purposes of employment of a retired member of the New Hampshire retirement system, but excepting per diem court security officers and court bailiffs, and the assistant director for safety and security of the judicial branch, means employment by one or more participating employers of the retired member which shall not exceed 1,352 hours in a calendar year, except as provided in RSA 100-A:7-b. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless excepted under RSA 100-A:7-b,
no retired member shall be employed on a part-time basis by any participating employer for a period of 28 days from the member's effective date of retirement.
2 Certain Part-Time Employment; Emergency Exception.. Amend RSA 100-A:7-b to read as follows:
100-A:7-b Certain Part-Time Employment; Emergency Exception.

I.
The annual limitations on part-time employment as defined in RSA 100-A:1, XXXIV shall be modified for retired members to exclude any hours worked during an emergency under this section. For purposes of this section, an emergency includes any event declared by the governor or while working under the direction of the director of the division of forests and lands during woodland fire control. Employers shall include hours worked during an emergency as a separate entry in the report required in RSA 100-A:16, VII(a).

II. A member who retires from active service with an employer, but who at the time of application for retirement was concurrently employed by a different employer in a part-time position, shall not be required to comply with the 28-day requirement in RSA 100-A:1, XXXIV for such part-time employment, provided the other requirements of this chapter are met.

3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
