Bill > S1883

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts State Board of Retirement to grant creditable service to Paul Lemelin, an employee of the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, for a specific period from November 14, 2011 to January 20, 2023. The bill allows Lemelin to receive retirement service credit for this time period, which will be used in calculating his superannuation retirement allowance. However, to receive this credit, Lemelin must pay the state employees' retirement system a lump sum or installment payment equivalent to the retirement contributions that would have been withheld during that period, based on his annual compensation rate immediately preceding this time frame. The payment will also include buyback interest. This is a special legislative action that provides an exception to existing retirement laws, allowing Lemelin to retroactively receive retirement service credit for a specific period of employment. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
