Bill Summary

Relative to regular compensation for certain retirees and active retirement system members

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that certain retirement allowances and payments in lieu of vacation leave are considered regular compensation for the purposes of calculating retirement benefits. Specifically, it states that retirement allowances that included payments in lieu of vacation leave shall not be reduced or changed due to the inclusion of such payments. It also declares that payments in lieu of vacation leave made to members who were in service as of May 1, 2018, and were receiving such payments prior to that date, shall be considered regular compensation, as long as they are permitted under applicable collective bargaining agreements or other employment contracts. The bill requires retirement systems to treat these payments as regular compensation and take necessary measures to implement this provision.
