Bill Summary

Relative to a cost of living adjustment for retired judges. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 32 of the General Laws to provide a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the annual pensions of retired justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, Appeals Court, and the various Trial Courts in Massachusetts. The COLA would be equal to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Workers in the Northeast region, starting on July 1, 2022, and continuing annually thereafter. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that the pension benefits for these retired judges keep pace with the rising cost of living.
