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.
