AI Summary
This bill provides for a COVID-19 retirement credit to be given to essential first responders and frontline healthcare workers in Massachusetts. The credit, equivalent to the duration of the Governor's COVID-19 state of emergency from March 10, 2020 to June 15, 2021, can be added to the employee's age or years of service for the purpose of calculating their retirement benefit. The bill requires the Secretary of Administration and Finance to identify eligible essential employees and provide that information to the state retirement board, which will then notify the employees of the credit. Municipalities in Massachusetts can also choose to adopt this COVID-19 credit for their eligible essential employees.
