H 2661 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to employee retirement contributions

This bill proposes to increase the maximum annual employee retirement contribution limit in Massachusetts from thirty thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars. It directly affects employees who participate in the state retirement system by allowing them to contribute a higher amount of their own money toward their future benefits. The change is achieved by amending a specific line in Chapter 32 of the General Laws to update the dollar figure. This adjustment would enable workers to save more for retirement if they choose to contribute the maximum allowed amount.
