ASSEMBLY, No. 4544

with Senate Floor Amendments

(Proposed by Senator POU)

ADOPTED: JUNE 3, 2021

      These Senate amendments would permit a certified school nurse who retired from the Teachers’ Pension and Annuity Fund (TPAF) to return to work full time as a certified school nurse with a board of education without being reenrolled in the TPAF. 

      If the retired school nurse returns to work with the former employer, it must occur more than 180 days after the retirement. 

      These amendments would permit the school nurse to receive the TPAF retirement allowance as well as a salary. 

      These amendments permit the return to work under a contract for one year, which may be renewed only for one additional year.
