Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Section 10-183v of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a [former] teacher receiving retirement benefits from the system may not be employed in a teaching position receiving compensation paid out of public money appropriated for school purposes except that such [former] teacher may be employed [temporarily] in such a position and receive no more than forty-five per cent of the maximum salary level for the assigned position. Any [former] teacher who receives in excess of such amount shall reimburse the board for the amount of such excess. [Temporary employment means employment for less than a school year.] Notice of such employment shall be sent [semi-annually on January thirty-first and June thirtieth] to the board by the [employing officials] employer and by the retired teacher at the time of hire and at the end of each assignment.
(b) A [former] teacher receiving retirement benefits from the system may be reemployed for up to one full school year by a local board of education, the State Board of Education or by any constituent unit of the state system of higher education in a position designated by the Commissioner of Education as a subject shortage area for the school year in which the [former] teacher is being employed. Notice of such reemployment shall be sent to the board by the employer and by the retired teacher at the time of hire and at the end of the assignment. Such [employment may be for up to one full school year but] reemployment may [, with prior approval by the board,] be extended for an additional school year, [. Such] provided the local board of education (1) submits a written request for approval [shall be made in writing] to the Teachers' Retirement Board, [and certified by the local board of education] (2) certifies that no qualified candidates are available prior to the reemployment of such [former] teacher, and [shall include a statement indicating] (3) indicates the type of assignment to be performed, the anticipated date of rehire and the expected duration of the assignment.
(c) The employment of a [former] teacher under subsection (b) of this section shall not be considered as service qualifying for continuing contract status under section 10-151 and the salary of such teacher shall be fixed at an amount at least equal to that paid other teachers in the same school system with similar training and experience for the same type of service. Upon approval by the board of such employment, such [former] teacher shall be eligible for the same health insurance benefits provided to active teachers employed by such school system. No benefits shall be paid under section 10-183t, while such [former] teacher is employed by such system.
(d) No person shall be entitled to survivor's benefits under subsection (f) of section 10-183f as a result of reemployment under this section.
(e) The same option plan of retirement benefits in effect prior to reemployment shall continue for a reemployed teacher during reemployment.
