Bill > H4995

This bill amends existing law regarding retirement reporting by requiring the Attorney General or a District Attorney to immediately notify the commission, which is likely the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) in Massachusetts, if they become aware of a final conviction of a member of a retirement system that might lead to the forfeiture of their pension or retirement benefits. The commission will then only report this conviction to the member's retirement board or employer if it has determined that the conviction indeed necessitates such forfeiture and is directing the retirement board or employer to take action to enforce it. This process aims to ensure that pension benefits are appropriately handled in cases of serious criminal convictions.
