AI Summary

This bill aims to allow teachers who previously worked in non-public schools to receive creditable service for retirement purposes, as if their non-public school service had been rendered in a public school. The key provisions are: 1) it defines "non-public school" as an institution not operated by the government that provides primary or college-level education; 2) it allows members of the teachers' retirement system, state retirement system, or State-Boston retirement system who held a teaching certificate and worked in a non-public school after January 1, 1973 to receive creditable service for that time, if they pay a makeup payment of 10% of their most recent annual compensation plus interest; 3) it limits the amount of non-public school service that can be credited to 4 years; and 4) it requires the retirement board to notify eligible members of their options to purchase the creditable service.
