An Act relative to the retirement benefits of employees of the Cape Ann Transportation Authority
This bill allows employees of the Cape Ann Transportation Authority to buy back retirement credit for specific periods of past employment starting July 1, 2022. It overrides previous rules that might have restricted this option, enabling these workers to pay for service time to increase their future pension benefits. The legislation applies only to this specific transit authority and does not change retirement rules for other public employees in Massachusetts.
