_______________
An Act increasing the survivor benefits payable to the surviving
spouse of Wesley Boutelle.
Whereas, The deferred operation for this act would
tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith to make it in the best interest
of Wesley Boutelle and his surviving spouse, therefore it is hereby declared to
be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
convenience.
Be
it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court
assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding section 12 of chapter 32 of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the state board of retirement shall pay to Wesley Boutelle, a retired state police officer, the retirement allowance to which he is entitled under option (b) of subdivision (2) of said section 12 of said chapter 32, but, upon his death, his surviving spouse shall receive a retirement allowance equal to the amount she would have received as Wesley Boutelle’s surviving beneficiary if he had elected option (c) of said subdivision (2) of section 12 of chapter 32 of the General Laws when he retired.
