An Act requiring creditable service for Massachusetts National Guard service

This bill amends state retirement laws to grant creditable service time for active duty in the Massachusetts National Guard. It directly affects state employees who are also members of the National Guard and wish to count their military service toward their retirement benefits. The key provision updates existing statutes to explicitly include National Guard service alongside regular armed forces service when calculating retirement credits. This change ensures that state employees receive the same retirement credit for National Guard time as they do for federal military service.
