Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 631 amends the Government Code to set limits on payments to a former state agency employee who is rehired by the agency, or used as a contractor for the agency, to perform substantially similar duties after retirement. Payments may not exceed the lesser of $60,000 or the rate of compensation the employee received during the last 12 months of service for the agency before retirement. If the reemployment or contract does not exceed six months in duration, however, the limitation does not apply. The act affects only those employees who retire on or after its effective date.
