Teacher Retirement Act Is Found to Be Invalid
Secretary of State C. G. Hall announced Act 387 of 1947 amending the teachers retirement system was invalid for lacking an enactment clause. The bill would have raised minimum retirement payments to $1 per month per year of service, let a board set maximums up to 110 percent of the prior year’s average salary, and allowed retired teachers to return to work without losing benefits until a shortage was declared. Charles F. Allen noted no immediate effect on system operation was stated.
