Bill > S1833

This bill modifies a provision in Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 32, Section 4(r) by replacing specific language about "public school teacher or public school guidance counselor" with a broader term "qualified commonwealth employee". While the bill's title references Peace Corps creditable service, the specific text does not explicitly mention the Peace Corps. The change appears to expand the definition of who can receive certain service credit benefits, potentially allowing a wider range of public service workers to qualify for those benefits. The amendment seems designed to broaden the scope of creditable service for retirement or pension purposes, though without additional context, the precise implications of substituting "qualified commonwealth employee" for the previous more specific language are not entirely clear.
