AI Summary

This bill provides a retirement enhancement opportunity for certain members of the Massachusetts Teachers Retirement System. Eligible members must be employed by a city, town, regional school committee, independent or vocational technical school, county agricultural school, or educational collaborative that accepts the provisions of the act. To be eligible, members must be eligible for superannuation retirement and be active members of the teachers' retirement system. The bill allows these eligible members to purchase up to 5 years of additional age or service credit to enhance their retirement benefits, with the cost shared between the employee and the employer. The employer is required to fill any vacancies created by this program before the start of the next school year, with some exceptions. The Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission will conduct a cost analysis, and the Teachers' Retirement Board will establish a payment schedule for the employer's portion of the costs.
