AI Summary
This bill aims to restore or adjust retirement benefits for certain surviving spouses and widows whose pensions were reduced or terminated due to remarriage before July 1, 2000. Specifically, it proposes that provisions within Chapter 32 of the General Laws, concerning retirement benefits (sections 9, 100, and 101, as well as paragraph (d) of subdivision (2) of section 12), will now apply to these individuals, overriding a previous law (section 498 of chapter 159 of the acts of 2000) that may have prevented such application. The bill clarifies that these changes will only apply from the effective date of this new act and will not provide any retroactive payments.
