Allowing retired teachers to work in educational institutions for ninety days per school year without a reduction in benefits.

    AN ACT Relating to pension payments to retired teachers; amending RCW 41.32.570; and creating a new section.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  The legislature finds that there is a shortage of certificated substitute teachers in many regions of the state, and that this shortage will likely increase in the coming years.  The legislature further finds that one method of reducing this shortage of substitute teachers is to encourage retired teachers to serve as substitutes by increasing the number of days they can work without affecting their retirement payments.

    Sec. 2.  RCW 41.32.570 and 1989 c 273 s 29 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) Any retired teacher who enters service in any public educational institution in Washington state shall cease to receive pension payments while engaged in such service: PROVIDED, That service may be rendered up to seventy‑five days per school year without reduction of pension.

    (2) In addition to the seventy-five days of service permitted under subsection (1) of this section, a retired teacher may also serve only as a substitute teacher for up to an additional fifteen days per school year without reduction of pension if:

(a) A school district, which is not a member of a multidistrict substitute cooperative, determines that it has exhausted or can reasonably anticipate that it will exhaust its list of qualified and available substitutes and the school board of the district adopts a resolution to make its substitute teachers who are retired teachers eligible for the additional fifteen days of extended service once the list of qualified and available substitutes has been exhausted.  The resolution by the school district shall state that the services of retired teachers are necessary to address the shortage of qualified and available substitutes.  The resolution shall be valid only for the school year in which it is adopted.  The district shall forward a copy of the resolution with a list of retired teachers who have been employed as substitute teachers to the department and may notify the retired teachers included on the list of their right to take advantage of the provisions of this subsection; or

(b) A multidistrict substitute cooperative determines that the school districts have exhausted or can reasonably anticipate that they will exhaust their list of qualified and available substitutes and each of the school boards adopts a resolution to make their substitute teachers who are retired teachers eligible for the extended service once the list of qualified and available substitutes has been exhausted.  The resolutions by each of the school districts shall state that the services of retired teachers are necessary to address the shortage of qualified and available substitutes.  The resolutions shall be valid only for the school year in which they are adopted.  The cooperative shall forward a copy of the resolutions with a list of retired teachers who have been employed as substitute teachers to the department and may notify the retired teachers included on the list of their right to take advantage of the provisions of this subsection.

(3) Subsection (1) of this section shall apply to all persons governed by the provisions of plan I, regardless of the date of their retirement, but shall apply only to benefits payable after June 11, 1986.

(4) Subsection (2) of this section shall apply to all persons governed by the provisions of plan I, regardless of the date of their retirement, but shall only apply to benefits payable after September 1, 1994.
