Any retired state employee who is presently drawing retirement benefits under any state retirement system may, as any other citizen, serve in the Legislature without affecting in any way his or her retirement status or the receipt of retirement funds while a member of the Legislature. Such person may be paid the salary of a legislator, and per diem and mileage in connection with his or her official legislative duties in addition to his or her retirement benefits during the person's term of legislative service except that service as a legislator after retirement shall not increase retirement benefits.
