Bill > S1892

This bill establishes a special commission to study potential Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) for retirees of the Massachusetts State Police. The commission will be composed of key stakeholders, including the chairs of the joint committee on public service, the executive director of the state retirement board, a member appointed by the chair of the Massachusetts Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission, and the president of Massachusetts Retirees. The commission is tasked with investigating the feasibility of implementing cost of living increases for state police retirees and will be required to submit a comprehensive report to the house and senate committees on ways and means by January 1, 2026. The report must include the commission's findings, recommendations, and draft legislation to potentially implement any proposed changes to retirement benefits. This study aims to explore potential improvements in financial support for retired state police officers by examining potential cost of living adjustments.
