AI Summary

This bill aims to increase transparency in the MBTA Retirement Fund. It proposes to include the MBTA Retirement Fund in the state's searchable database, which would provide information on the fund's employees, contractors, board members, and retirement plan members, including their names, titles, salaries, and amounts paid each year. The bill also requires the MBTA Retirement Fund to make the minutes of its board meetings publicly accessible on its website within seven days of the meetings. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "public entity" in the state's public records law to include the MBTA Retirement Fund, and adds a provision related to former MBTA Retirement Fund employees representing clients before the fund.
