An Act relative to amending retirement eligibility

This bill amends Massachusetts retirement rules for Group 4 state employees by allowing up to four years of prior military service to count toward retirement eligibility when combined with civilian employment. It directly affects current and future Group 4 retirees who have military service history, including public safety and education workers covered under this retirement system. The key change inserts a specific provision into existing law (Section 3(2)g of the General Laws) to include military service as qualifying time for retirement credits. The amendment does not alter benefit calculations but expands how service time is counted toward eligibility requirements.
