Bill Summary
Relative to the veteran allowance under the public employee retirement law. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends the public employee retirement law to increase the veteran allowance for public retirees. Specifically, it allows public retirement systems to accept a provision that would provide an additional yearly allowance of $50 for each year of creditable service, up to a maximum of $1,000, for members who are veterans. It also increases the existing veteran allowance from $15 to $45 per year of creditable service, with a maximum of $900. The bill makes these changes prospective from the date of acceptance by the retirement system and does not provide any retroactive benefits.
