Relative to creditable service benefits for veterans. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill aims to provide equal benefits for veterans by amending the law to allow members of a retirement system who have served in the National Guard, Active Reserve, or the armed forces of the United States to receive credit for such service. The bill specifies that the member must pay into the annuity savings fund an amount equal to 10% of their regular annual compensation when they entered the retirement system for each year of creditable service sought, but that such creditable service is limited to a maximum of 4 years and cannot be combined with any other credit received under the same section of the law.
