2019 House Bill 4086

Ban school and union “pension spiking” deals

Introduced in the House

Jan. 24, 2019

Introduced by Rep. Pamela Hornberger (R-32)

To prohibit public school arrangements in which a school employee works full time for a teachers union but remains a school employee for purposes of collecting a government pension. The provision would also apply to pensions credits earned by school employees paid to do union work on school time. Recent news reports have exposed how the recent presidents of the state’s largest teacher union were paid by the union but remained school employees considered to be "on leave" for many years, thereby "spiking" their government pension payouts to six-figure amounts.

Referred to the Committee on Education
