Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

No pay cap for rehired school retirees

If you are a retired TRS member rehired by a public school to do duties ordinarily performed by classified or nonclassified personnel, you can earn any amount. Your retirement checks are not reduced, no matter how much you earn from that school. Effective Nov 1, 2026, unless the emergency clause makes it effective on passage.

Retired school staff: six-month wait to work

Retired members of the Teachers’ Retirement System cannot work for an Oklahoma public school for six months after their last pre‑retirement work day. The six months start after your last required work day or your retirement date, whichever is later. Any paid or volunteer work during those six months causes you to forfeit all retirement checks paid for that period. Effective Nov 1, 2026, unless the emergency clause makes it effective on passage.
