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

Before the date that any retirement allowance becomes effective in the case of Diane Galanti, she shall pay into the annuity savings fund of the retirement system in one (1) 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 buyback interest.
