Passed in the House 103 to 0 (details)

To agree with Senate changes to legislation to extend and expand exceptions to the "anti-double-dipping" public school retiree earnings limitation. The bill allows school districts facing an "emergency" shortage of state-licensed teachers to employ retired teachers at higher salaries without causing their pension payments to be reduced.
