An Act relative to the retirement benefits of the surviving beneficiary of Francis X. Noe.

 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to provide needed benefits to the widow of Francis X. Noe, 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:
 

SECTION 1. (a) Notwithstanding section 12 of chapter 32 of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the Norfolk County retirement board may provide to Sandra M. Noe, the surviving spouse of former Stoughton firefighter Francis X. Noe, a lifetime, monthly allowance equal to the amount that an eligible surviving spouse beneficiary would receive pursuant to option (d) of subdivision (2) of said section 12 of said chapter 32 as if Francis X. Noe, as the electing member, had nominated her as his sole beneficiary prior to his death. Said allowance shall be payable as of the date of Francis X. Noe's death.

(b) Any retirement benefit provided to Sandra M. Noe pursuant to this act shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits she may have otherwise received from the Norfolk County Retirement System as Francis X. Noe's beneficiary.
