AI Summary

This bill, concerning post-employment benefits for school bus drivers in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, allows the city to include certain payments made to school bus drivers and attendants, such as those for charter work, when calculating their "regular compensation" for retirement purposes under Chapter 32 of the General Laws, which governs public employee retirement. This means these additional payments will be factored into the calculation of their pension benefits, provided that such salary or wage payments do not exceed 40 hours per week.
