AI Summary
This bill allows Wendy Lopriore, a member of the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System, to receive creditable retirement service for her work at Bristol Community College during the period from July 1995 to August 1997. To be eligible for this additional service credit, which will be used in calculating her superannuation retirement allowance, Lopriore must pay back the retirement system the amount of money that would have been withheld from her paycheck as regular deductions during that time period, plus interest. This means she can retroactively purchase the service credit by reimbursing the retirement system for the contributions she would have made if she had been paying into the system during those two years. The bill requires her to make these payments before her retirement allowance becomes effective, and she can pay the total amount either in a single payment or in installments, according to terms set by the teachers' retirement board.
