AI Summary

This bill allows Greg Stewart, a retired member of the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System (MTRS), to elect an accidental disability retirement option, even if it goes against existing retirement laws. Specifically, the MTRS must offer him this option for a hearing impairment that causes total or partial disability, and this disability will be presumed to have occurred during his employment. The retirement board will then pay him accidental disability retirement benefits from the date the act becomes law for the rest of his retirement, and he has 90 days from that date to decide if he wants to take this option.
