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 (HD 1733) specifically adjusts the pension calculation for Walter L. Guertin, a retiree from Attleboro. It directs the Attleboro Retirement Board to pay him a retirement allowance based on 32 years of creditable service as calculated on his November 17, 2017, retirement date, overriding standard pension calculation rules under M.G.L. c.32 sections 4(2)(b) and 4(2)(c). The bill requires retroactive payment of any owed amounts from his retirement date until the bill's passage. It applies solely to Walter Guertin and does not change general pension rules for other retirees.
