SB 1242 - This act renders alterations to the Kansas City public school retirement system.

The alteration of Section 169.270, RSMo, would redefine the term "regular employee". Current law necessitates that a regular employee work in a position for five hours a day, five days a week. This act seeks to alter this provision by requiring that an employee only work a total of twenty-five hours a week, regardless of how many days it takes to work the twenty-five hours.

The modification of Subsection 12 of Section 169.291, RSMo, allows the retirement system to appoint more than three physicians to its medical board. Current law allows for only three physicians on the board.

The revision of Subsection 3 of Section 169.295, RSMo, allows the board of trustees to use one or more banks for conducting business. Current law allows the board to utilize only one bank.

The alteration of Section 169.332, RSMo, allows the medical board to certify, for the purposes of approving a member's disability allowance, that a member is mentally or physically unable to perform their duties based on either a medical examination or other medical information. Current law allows for such a designation only after a medical examination.
