S 1677 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the amendment of M.G.L. c.32, section 4(2)(b) and 4(2)(c), solely as they relate to the calculation of Walter L. Guertin's pension

This bill adjusts the pension calculation for Walter L. Guertin, a former employee of the Attleboro Retirement Board, by mandating that his retirement allowance be based on thirty-two years of service. The legislation overrides previous state laws regarding his specific case and requires the board to calculate his benefit as if he had thirty-two years of creditable service as of his retirement date in November 2017. Additionally, the act directs the board to pay any back wages owed to Guertin from the date of his retirement until the bill becomes law.
