Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding chapter 32 of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the teachers’ retirement system shall credit Alec Ciminello, a member of the teachers’ retirement system, with 7.92 years of creditable service for the teaching service he rendered in Rhode Island for the period of August 1, 2014 through June 30, 2022, inclusive, for the purpose of determining his superannuation retirement allowance pursuant to paragraph (a) of subdivision (2) of section 5 of said chapter 32. Before the date that any retirement allowance becomes effective for Alec Ciminello, he shall pay into the annuity savings fund of the teachers’ retirement system in 1 sum or in installments, upon such terms and conditions as the teachers’ retirement board may prescribe, an amount equal to that which would have been withheld as regular deductions from his regular compensation for such period had such service been rendered in a public school of the commonwealth, plus buyback interest.
