HB 545-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT allowing retired police officers to become teachers without rejoining the state retirement system.
FISCAL IMPACT:

METHODOLOGY:
The System states this bill will remove the requirement for membership in the System for retired police officers who become employed as certified teachers.

There will be no administrative costs associated with this legislation.
