Session Laws

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately provide for the state retirement board to recalculate the pension of an individual, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary and in order to promote the public good, the state retirement board is hereby authorized and directed to credit Ellen Schiff with an additional one year of creditable service, for the purposes of determining her superannuation retirement allowance pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) of subdivision (2) of section five of chapter thirty-two of the General Laws; provided, however, that said Ellen Schiff shall thereupon receive such increased allowance together with an amount equal to the difference between the allowance said Ellen Schiff actually received from the date of retirement to the date of recalculation and the amount of the allowance which said Ellen Schiff would have received had such recalculated allowance been paid to said Ellen Schiff from the date of retirement.
