SF 2166: Concerning compensation and benefits limits, relating to the earnings limitation for retirees under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system and compensation limits for school corporation board members

Became SF 2266 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

This bill modifies the earnings limitation for retirees under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system (IPERS) and the limitation on compensation and benefits for a member of a school board. Code section 97B.48A provides that a retiree under IPERS who has not reached age shall have their retirement allowance reduced by cents for every dollar the retiree earns over $30,000 in full-time employment covered by IPERS. The bill raises this earnings limitation provision to $50,000. Code section 279.7A, concerning limitations on contracts that benefit a member of the board of directors of a school corporation, is amended to allow a contract if the benefit from the contract to the director does not exceed $20,000 instead of $6,00.
