Relative to joint and last survivor allowances paid under the contributory retirement system. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 12 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws by removing the language that limited survivor benefits to two-thirds of the yearly amount of the deceased member's retirement allowance. The changes made by this bill remove the two-thirds restriction, allowing for survivor benefits to be paid without that limitation.
