An Act authorizing the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System to grant creditable service to Karol Coffin.

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

Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement Board shall credit Karol Coffin of Hopkinton with creditable service for the period from January 1, 1973 to January 16, 1975, inclusive, during which time she served as an elementary school teacher at Camp Lejeune, a domestic Department of Defense dependent school, for the purpose of determining her superannuation retirement allowance; provided, however, that before the date any retirement allowance becomes effective, Karol Coffin 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.
