Majority Report on the Governor’s Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 2017 (submitted by the Governor pursuant to Article LXXXVII of the Amendments to the Constitution) An Act to reorganize the Department of Public Safety (House, No. 68)
Maddy summaryThis bill (H 3729) authorizes David Mottor to purchase creditable service from the Easthampton Contributory Retirement Board for certain military service he performed. It directly affects David Mottor, a local resident, by allowing him to count his military service toward his retirement benefits. The key provision is a one-time authorization for him to pay for this credit, enabling him to receive retirement credit for his military service through Easthampton's local retirement system. This is a procedural, individualized request, not a broad policy change.
