Bill > H2804

This bill allows the Plymouth County Retirement System to grant creditable service to Judy Hartigan, the Rockland Town Collector, for her service from April 11, 2009 to the present. Specifically, the bill enables Hartigan to receive retirement credit for this period, which will be used to calculate her superannuation retirement allowance under Massachusetts General Laws. To receive this credit, Hartigan must pay into the retirement system an amount equivalent to the retirement contributions that would have been deducted from her salary during that time, plus interest, either in a lump sum or through installments as determined by the retirement system. This is a special legislative action that overrides any existing laws or regulations that might otherwise prevent her from receiving this service credit, effectively allowing her to retroactively purchase creditable service time for her previous work. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing Hartigan with the opportunity to enhance her retirement benefits by recognizing her prior service to the Town of Rockland.
