The commission will be composed of several key stakeholders, including the chairs of the joint committee on public service, the executive director of the state retirement board, a member appointed by the chair of the Massachusetts public employee retirement administration commission, and the president of Massachusetts retirees. The commission is tasked with conducting a feasibility study and reporting its findings and recommendations, including draft legislation, to the house and senate committees on ways and means by January 1, 2027.
