AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow veterans to "buy back" their military service time to count towards their public employee retirement benefits. Specifically, it strikes out a paragraph and adds language to Section 4 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws, requiring retirement boards to provide written notice to new public employees that they can buy back their military service time before they vest in the retirement system. This change allows veterans to receive credit for their prior military service when calculating their public pension benefits.
