Resolve authorizing the study of cost of living increases for state police retirees
This bill creates a special commission to study whether Massachusetts State Police retirees should receive cost of living increases. The commission will include representatives from the public service committee, the state retirement board, the public employee retirement administration, and a group of retirees. By January 1, 2024, the group must submit its findings and draft laws to the state legislature if they recommend changes. The bill does not authorize any immediate pay raises but instead sets up an official review process to determine future adjustments.
