Relative to creditable service for retirement purposes for certain teachers. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of "creditable service" for retirement purposes to include service as a teacher in the U.S. Virgin Islands, in addition to the existing provision for service in Puerto Rico. This change to the General Laws would allow teachers who have worked in the U.S. Virgin Islands to have that service counted towards their public sector retirement benefits.
