How can I learn more about the temporary update to R.I.G.L. 16-16-24.3 for teachers?

Under current law, RIGL§16-16-24, members who retired under the provisions of titles 36, 16 and 45 can substitute teach or fill a vacant position for no more than 90 days in a school year without impacting their pension benefit. On June 26, 2025, Governor McKee signed into law Rhode Island General Law (RIGL)§16-16-24.3, which allows teachers who retired under Title 16 to exceed the ninety (90) day cap if certain conditions are met. This provision is set to expire on June 26, 2026.
