Bill Summary

Relative to creditable service for retirement purposes for veterans who served in the armed forces of the United States. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill expands creditable service benefits for retirement purposes to veterans who served in the armed forces of the United States, by amending Chapter 32 of the General Laws. Specifically, it inserts the term "veteran, as defined under Section 6A of Chapter 115," after existing language that refers to "permanent-intermittent or call fire fighter" in various lines of paragraph (b) of subdivision (2) of section 4. This change aims to ensure that eligible veterans can have their military service recognized as creditable service for their public retirement plans, which is a benefit previously extended to certain public safety personnel.
