9 Section 1. Section 24 of the act of August 31, 1971

11 November 21, 1990 (P.L.551, No.136), is amended to read:
12 Section 24. Simultaneous Payments of Salary and Retirement
13 Allowance.--Should a retiree [receiving a retirement allowance]
14 be reemployed [by the county as an appointed employe or as an
15 elected official] as a county employe, the retirement allowance
16 of such person shall immediately cease. Such person shall
17 thereupon be reinstated as a contributor; and, there shall be
1 restored to his credit as accumulated deductions the actuarial
2 value of his member's annuity computed as of the date of his
3 reemployment. Should he refuse to surrender his right to
4 retirement allowance as of the date of his reemployment, it
5 shall be unlawful for the county to reemploy him. For the
6 purposes of this section if a person serves as a juror, master,
7 or arbitrator or is [employed] prohibited from being a member of
8 the system by home rule charter, he shall not be deemed
9 reemployed. If a retiree is reemployed on a part-time basis, the
10 retirement allowance SHALL NOT CEASE, BUT shall be reduced by an <--
11 amount equal to the amount of compensation received by the
12 employe for service in excess of 480 1000 hours per year. Such <--
13 reduction shall, HOWEVER, not exceed the amount of the <--
14 retirement allowance. [A retiree reemployed on a part-time basis
15 exceeding 1000 hours shall be considered an appointed employe
16 for the purposes of this section.] A RETIREE REEMPLOYED ON A <--
17 PART-TIME BASIS SHALL NOT BE REINSTATED AS A CONTRIBUTOR AND
18 SHALL NOT RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SERVICE CREDIT FOR RETIREMENT
19 PURPOSES.
20 Section 2. This act shall be retroactive to January 1, 1991.
21 Section 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
