AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 32 Section 94B (2) of the Massachusetts General Laws to modify the survivor retirement benefits for certain firefighters. Specifically, it changes the calculation of the retirement benefit to be based on the date the firefighter reached the maximum retirement age, rather than the last date they actively served. It also clarifies that any secondary cancer developed by the firefighter will be covered under Section 9 of Chapter 32 if they retire under this section.
