AI Summary

This bill aims to protect retirees from having their retirement allowance reduced, modified, or changed due to the inclusion of vacation buyback payments as part of their regular compensation. It stipulates that any vacation buyback amounts that were previously included in the calculation of a retired member's allowance cannot be used to subsequently reduce, modify, or change that allowance. The bill also states that any vacation buyback payments included in a collective bargaining agreement or employment contract in effect as of May 1, 2018, will continue to be considered regular compensation during the term of that agreement or contract, but any such payments received after June 30, 2021, will not be considered regular compensation.
