An Act relative to creditable service for elected officials

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to allow government employees to receive retirement service credit for specific types of past part-time work, including roles held by elected officials. The legislation authorizes retirement boards to grant this credit based on a proportionate calculation for service periods where individuals were not eligible for membership or chose not to join the retirement system. The change applies to various employment categories such as temporary, seasonal, and intermittent positions, provided the service occurred after the relevant retirement system became operative. By adding this provision, the bill ensures that time spent in these roles can count toward future retirement benefits under defined rules and actuarial approval.
