Maddy summaryThis bill grants Neal Bryan Martin membership in the North Adams retirement system, which covers employees of the Hoosac water quality district and other local entities. It directs the retirement board to credit Martin with up to 18.5 years of service for his work between 1988 and 2006, provided he pays the required lump sum or installments to cover those contributions. The legislation ensures that these credited years will be used to calculate his future retirement benefits based on the actual time he worked.
