Bill > S1886

This bill makes changes to the retirement provisions for University of Massachusetts (UMass) police officers. Specifically, the bill removes and then re-adds language about UMass police in a section of Massachusetts General Laws related to retirement, and creates a special retirement incentive for UMass police officers. Under this incentive, eligible UMass police officers who were previously appointed under a specific section of law can request a retirement benefit that allows them to combine up to five additional years of creditable service and five additional years of age towards their retirement calculation. To qualify, these officers must retire within twelve months of the law's enactment. This provision appears designed to provide flexibility and potential early retirement options for UMass police officers, potentially helping with workforce management or transition efforts within the university's police system.
