Bill > H2813

This bill modifies an existing law regarding the composition of retirement boards, specifically addressing how the fifth member is selected when the initial selection process is not completed within a specified timeframe. Currently, if the four existing members cannot agree on and choose the fifth board member within 90 days after the previous fifth member's term expires or resigns, the bill provides an alternative appointment method. In cities, the mayor would have the authority to appoint the fifth member, with the city council required to confirm the appointment. In towns, the board of selectmen would have the power to directly appoint the fifth member to the retirement board. This change ensures that retirement boards can maintain a full complement of members and continue functioning effectively even if the initial selection process becomes deadlocked or delayed.
