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. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement Board is hereby authorized and directed to credit Eleanor Burke of Reading with creditable service for the period from February 1994 to August 1997, inclusive, during which she served as consultant at the department of education, for the purpose of determining her superannuation retirement allowance; provided, however, that before the date any retirement allowance becomes effective, she shall pay into the annuity savings fund of the state retirement system in one sum or installments, upon such terms and conditions as the board may prescribe, an amount equal to that which would have been withheld as regular deductions from her regular compensation for such previous service, plus interest.
