Relative to survivor retirement benefits

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 94B(1) of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to expand the definition of "cancer" to include breast cancer and reproductive cancers. It also amends Section 94B(2) to change the eligibility criteria for survivor retirement benefits, allowing individuals to qualify based on the date they reach the maximum retirement age rather than the last date of active service. Additionally, the bill specifies that any secondary cancer shall be covered under Section 9 of Chapter 32 if a person retires in accordance with this section.
