Abstract: Provides relative to Teachers' Retirement System of La. (TRSL) retirees who are
employed by a private company to provide tutoring or standardized test preparation
services.
Present law defines the term "teacher" for purposes of present law applicable to TRSL.
Excludes certain persons from the definition of teacher.
Present law provides relative to the reemployment of TRSL retirees in teaching and related
positions. Requires suspension or reduction of retirement benefits for certain retirees who
return to active service as teachers even if such employment is based on employment by
contract or corporate contract.
Proposed law excludes from the definition of teacher a person employed by a private
company to provide tutoring or standardized test preparation services, regardless of any
contractual relationship that may exist between the company and an employer as defined by
present law.
