AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts 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 of Group 1, Group 2, or Group 4 who are veterans. The bill also increases the minimum monthly pension for veterans from $15 to $50, and the maximum monthly pension from $300 to $1,000. The provisions of the bill are prospective, meaning they will not apply retroactively.
