An Act relative to a transfer of retirement benefits for Valeria D'Orazio an associate professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

 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 state board of retirement shall provide Valeria D'Orazio an associate professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy a 1-time transfer of creditable service from the optional retirement system established under subsection (3) of section 40 of chapter 15A of the General Laws to the state employees’ retirement system.
