An Act authorizing the grant of creditable service to Thomas Brooks.

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, rule or regulation to the contrary, the retirement board of the City of Boston shall credit Thomas Brooks with creditable service for the period of May 1999 to March 2002, inclusive, for the purpose of determining his superannuation retirement allowance under paragraph (a) of subdivision (2) of section 5 of chapter 32 of the General Laws. During this time, Thomas Brooks served as a police officer for the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority police department. Before the date that any retirement allowance becomes effective for Thomas Brooks, he shall pay into the annuity savings fund of the retirement system of the city in 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 his regular compensation for such previous service.
