AI Summary

This bill provides a retirement enhancement opportunity for certain members of the Massachusetts Teachers Retirement System. Eligible employees must be employed by a city, town, regional school committee, independent or vocational technical school, county agricultural school, or educational collaborative that has accepted the provisions of this act. To be eligible, the employee must be eligible for superannuation retirement and be an active member of the teachers' retirement system. The bill allows for the retirement age and years of service to be increased by up to 10 years, which will increase the retirement benefit. The bill also requires employers to fill any vacancies created by this retirement program before the start of the next school year, unless they can demonstrate declining enrollment. The costs of the additional benefits will be determined by the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commissioner and must be paid by the eligible employees, though the employer or Commonwealth may choose to cover some or all of the cost.
