SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the state board of retirement shall credit Paul Lemelin, an employee of the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, with creditable service for the service he rendered during the period of November 14, 2011 to January 20, 2023, inclusive, for the purpose of determining his superannuation retirement allowance pursuant to paragraph (a) of subdivision (2) of section 5 of chapter 32 of the General Laws. Before the date that any retirement allowance becomes effective in the case of Paul Lemelin, Paul Lemelin shall pay to the state employees’ retirement system, in 1 lump sum or in installments, upon such terms and conditions as the state board of retirement may prescribe, an amount equal to the amount that would have been withheld under said chapter 32 if he had received regular compensation during the applicable period at the annual rate of regular compensation that he was receiving immediately before this period, plus buyback interest.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
