AI Summary

  • Authorizes retirees employed on or after July 1, 2016, to renew membership in the Florida Retirement System, reversing a prior prohibition on renewed membership for retirees initially reemployed between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2016.

  • Renewed members enrolled in the investment plan cannot accrue creditable service or receive employer/employee contributions for employment from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2016, and are prohibited from purchasing past service for that period.

  • Renewed members are ineligible to receive disability benefits and must satisfy vesting requirements to receive retirement benefits; however, they may earn additional credit toward health insurance subsidies.

  • Requires employers to pay both employer and employee contributions for military service credit earned on or after July 1, 2016, rather than only employee contributions made prior to that date.

  • Increases employer contribution rates effective July 1, 2016, across multiple Florida Retirement System classes, ranging from 0.00 to 1.01 percentage points, to fund the renewed membership provisions.
