About this statute

This law changes the maximum retirement age for people who perform public functions. Public officials must retire when they turn 70, and they cannot be reinstated afterward; elected officials and certain officials named in another decree-law are excluded. Some public officials may stay in office voluntarily, but they must keep contributing to social security. This provision says the law does not change access to public office or pension rules, except for the maximum mandatory retirement age set here. This article says the law takes effect when it is published and repeals conflicting rules, including several specifically named decrees and provisions.
