An Act relative to retirement reporting.

 

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

Section 15 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2016 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out the paragraph, and inserting in place thereof the following paragraph: -

(5) If the attorney general or district attorney becomes aware of a final conviction of a member of a retirement system under circumstances which may require forfeiture of the member’s rights to a pension, retirement allowance, or a return of his accumulated total deductions pursuant to this chapter. Sections 58 or 59 of chapter 30 or section 25 of Chapter 268A, he shall immediately notify the commission of such conviction. The Commission shall not report the conviction to the member’s retirement board or employer unless the Commission has determined that such conviction, in fact, requires forfeiture of that member’s rights to a pension, retirement allowance, or return of his accumulated total deductions pursuant to this chapter, sections 58 or 59 of Chapter 30 or section 25 of Chapter 268A; and is directing that member’s retirement board or employer to take action to effectuate such.
