HB 177 Original 2026 Regular Session Muscarello

Abstract: Excepts a retired court reporter from the two-year prohibition on being reemployed by a governmental entity or agency.

Present law prohibits a former public employee from assisting another person, for compensation, for a two-year period following the termination of his public employment.

Proposed law retains present law; however, proposed law authorizes a former official court reporter employed in any judicial district court or city court to be hired on a contractual basis or reemployed with the same court or jurisdiction at any time after retirement or leaving the employment of the court.
