Bill > H2921

This bill provides a specific retirement benefit exception for Mary McCabe, an associate justice of the Haverhill district court. Normally, retirement benefit laws (specifically sections 65C and 65D of chapter 32 of the General Laws) would restrict who can be named as a survivor beneficiary, typically allowing only a spouse. However, this bill allows Mary McCabe to uniquely name her daughter Anna McCabe as her survivor beneficiary instead of a spouse, overriding standard legal provisions. The bill is classified as an emergency law, meaning its immediate implementation is considered necessary for public convenience, and it will take retroactive effect as of October 29, 2023. The legislation appears to be a targeted, individual-specific measure that provides a personalized retirement benefit arrangement for Mary McCabe by creating a special legal exception to standard retirement benefit rules.
