Bill Summary

Allowing Joseph Barbati, a retired member of the Massachusetts Trial Court, an accidental disability retirement option

AI Summary

This bill allows Joseph Barbati, a retired member of the Massachusetts Trial Court, to receive accidental disability retirement benefits due to severe depression, anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The State Retirement Board will pay Barbati these benefits, effective from the date the bill is passed, as long as a medical panel certifies that he is mentally or physically incapacitated from further duty and that the disability is likely to be permanent. The public employee retirement administration commission may waive the medical panel examination if Barbati has already been approved for a disability benefit.
