Bill Summary
Relative to directing the State Retirement Board to pay a certain retirement benefit to Virginia Wise, the surviving spouse of Raymond Wise, an officer of the Bridgewater State College Police Department. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill directs the State Board of Retirement to provide retirement benefits to Virginia Wise, the widow of Raymond Wise, who was a police officer at Bridgewater State College. The bill overrides any existing laws that might otherwise prevent such payment and is specifically designed to grant retirement benefits under section 94 of chapter 32 of the General Laws. The retirement benefits will be applied retroactively, taking effect as of June 29, 2004. By specifying that this action is for "promoting the public good," the bill appears to be a special legislative measure to ensure that the surviving spouse receives the retirement benefits that would have been due to her husband, despite potentially conflicting existing regulations.
