An Act relative to the retirement benefits of Officer Brian Murphy of the Massachusetts State Police

This bill provides specific retirement benefits for Officer Brian Murphy of the Massachusetts State Police, who became permanently disabled while on duty on June 2, 2021. It mandates that the state retirement board retire him immediately, pay him a pension equal to 80% of his current salary until death or mandatory retirement age, and cover all related medical expenses from his injury. The bill also ensures his spouse receives 75% of his pension upon his death, and if both he and his spouse die before their children turn 18, benefits continue for surviving children (or incapacitated/college-aged children) per specified conditions. The law applies solely to Officer Murphy and his family, with no broader implications for other state police officers.
