DIGEST
SB 484 Original 2020 Regular Session Robert Mills
Present law, relative to the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL) provides for the
employment of retired teachers. Provides that the benefit of a retiree who is re-employed in a "critical
shortage position" as defined in present law will be suspended if the reemployment is within the 12-
month period immediately following the person's retirement. Provides that after the lapse of 12
months, benefit payments resume.
Proposed law retains present law and adds to the definition of "critical shortage position" a position
for a full-time or part-time classroom teacher who teaches any student in a school identified pursuant
to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) for comprehensive intervention or as having 75% or
more economically disadvantage students where a critical shortage exists.
Present law provides for the determination and certification that a critical shortage exists, including
advertising the position sought to be filled and certifying to the Board of Elementary and Secondary
Education that the shortage exists.
Proposed law retains present law.
Proposed law provides that the actuarial cost of proposed law shall be funded with additional
employer contributions, in compliance with present constitution.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
