An Act relative to creditable service for Wayne Taylor

This bill (HD 1715) allows Wayne Taylor, a Barnstable County retirement system member, to purchase creditable service for his "Select Person" time. It directs the Barnstable County Retirement Board to permit this purchase under existing state law (Section 4 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws), overriding any conflicting rules. The provision directly affects Wayne Taylor by enabling him to count his prior service toward his retirement benefits. This is a specific, individual exception rather than a broad policy change.
