AI Summary

This bill modifies pension benefits for surviving spouses of public employees who remarried before July 1, 2000, by applying specific provisions of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to those whose pensions were terminated or reduced upon remarriage. This means that certain rules regarding pension adjustments for remarried widows and surviving spouses, as outlined in sections 9, 100, 101, and subdivision (2) of section 12 of Chapter 32, will now apply to individuals who remarried before the specified date, regardless of when this bill becomes law, but it will not grant any back payments or retroactive benefits.
