Bill Summary

Relative to applications for public employee retirement system creditable service buy backs for veterans. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing laws to allow public employees who are veterans to apply at any time to purchase creditable service under the public employee retirement system for their military service. Specifically, it adds a sentence to an existing paragraph in the state's General Laws that removes any limitations on when veterans can apply for this creditable service. Additionally, the bill strikes out the second and third paragraphs of a 1996 law, which had placed certain restrictions on when veterans could apply for this benefit.
