Session Laws

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately authorize and direct the state board of retirement to grant creditable service to Francis G. MacDonald, Jr., a former police officer, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary and in order to promote the public good, the state retirement board is hereby authorized and directed to grant to Francis G. MacDonald, Jr., a former police officer of the metropolitan district commission and the department of state police, creditable service from November eighth, nineteen hundred and eighty-six to October twenty-third, nineteen hundred and ninety-two, inclusive, in conformity with the decision of the Massachusetts Appeals Court, Docket No. 91-P-1049, with an ordinary disability retirement allowance calculated in accordance with subdivision (3) of section twenty-six of chapter thirty-two of the General Laws.
