Bill Summary

Relative to veteran retirement benefits. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing Massachusetts state law, Chapter 32, to allow military veterans who retired prior to July 24, 1996 to receive credit for their active military service, up to a maximum of 4 years, towards their public retirement benefits. This provision applies to both former and current members of the Massachusetts National Guard and Active Reserve. Additionally, the bill outlines the process for local retirement systems to accept and implement these changes, which requires a majority vote of the local legislative body. The bill also specifies that the terms used in this act will have the same meanings as those defined in Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
