AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 32, Section 60 of the existing law by removing the provision that excluded certain veterans from retirement benefits. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement that a veteran's total creditable service must be at least twice the time they were not employed by the state or a local government in order to be eligible for the retirement benefits. This change will make it easier for veterans to access their retirement benefits.
