Can you explain more about what this would do?

Its two separate bills. One that would allow qualified teachers to buy back up to 5 years of retirement to retire early, the other to allow all teachers who taught during Covid the option to retire 3 years earlier. Both proposals are a great benefit for teachers and districts alike, by encouraging more predictable retirement patterns which can assist districts in planning and hiring.
