An Act authorizing Thomas Harmon to purchase creditable service from the Barnstable County Retirement Board

HD 1499 authorizes Thomas Harmon, a Barnstable County Retirement System member, to purchase creditable service for his military service time from the Barnstable County Retirement Board. This bill directly affects only Thomas Harmon by allowing him to count his military service toward his retirement benefits under existing General Laws (specifically section 4, paragraph (h)). It overrides a 1996 law to permit this specific purchase, which would increase his future retirement benefits. This is a procedural bill for one individual, not a broad policy change.
