AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to increase the minimum monthly member-survivor allowance for spouses of deceased members of the state teachers' and state employees' retirement system from $500 to $750, effective July 1, 2017. It also allows other local retirement systems to adopt this higher minimum allowance through a majority vote of the board and the local legislative body. Additionally, the bill reinstates the pensions of spouses who remarried before July 1, 2000 and had their pensions terminated or reduced under certain sections of Chapter 32, but it does not provide for any retroactive benefits.
