Bill Summary

Relative public employee retirement and pensions for certain veterans. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 32, Section 60 of Massachusetts law to remove the requirement that a veteran's total period of creditable service must be at least twice the time they were not employed by the Commonwealth or a local government in order to be subject to certain retirement and pension provisions. The existing language being struck would have excluded veterans whose employment began after June 30, 1939 from these provisions, as well as veterans whose employment began earlier but did not meet the service time requirement. The bill aims to provide more favorable retirement and pension treatment for veterans employed in the public sector.
