AI Summary

This bill addresses the provisions for creditable service and notice requirements in the Massachusetts public retirement system. Specifically, it allows members whose creditable service predates January 1, 1986 to make up payments for withdrawn contributions without having to pay actuarial interest, as long as they do so within one year of reinstatement or April 2, 2012, whichever is later. Additionally, the bill requires the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission to provide timely notice, including by certified mail at least 10 days before any statutory amendments to Chapter 32 that would directly and substantially impact members' financial interests in the retirement system.
