An Act relative to non-Commonwealth entities

H 4829 clarifies that specific regional planning commissions (like the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission and Merrimack Valley Planning Commission) are treated as members of the state retirement system. It requires these "non-Commonwealth entities" to pay monthly retirement costs based on actuarial calculations of employee payroll, deposited into the state pension fund. The bill also protects these agencies from liability for past due retirement contributions. This directly affects the named regional commissions by establishing their retirement obligations and payment mechanisms under state law.
