An Act relative to credible service for school nurses.
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. Subdivision (1) of section 4 of chapter 32 of the General
Laws, as appearing in the 2006 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting
after paragraph (h ½) the following paragraph:– (h ¾) Any school nurse who is a member in service of the teacher’s
retirement system or a municipal or city of Boston or state retirement system
who is employed in a school approved by the department of education may receive
creditable service for any period or periods of work experience in the nursing
field. No credit shall be allowed until such member has paid into the
annuity savings fund of the system before any retirement allowance becomes
effective for such member, in one sum, or in installments, upon such terms and
conditions as the board may prescribe, makeup payments of an amount equal to 10
percent of the regular annual compensation of the member when said member
entered the retirement system for each year of service so purchased, plus buy
back interest. No credit shall be allowed and no payment shall be
accepted under this paragraph until the member shall have completed ten or more
years of membership service. The maximum creditable service allowable
under this paragraph for any member shall not exceed three years. Members
in service of a retirement system eligible for said creditable service under
this act shall make application for said creditable service within ninety days
of being notified by the retirement board of their eligibility after becoming
vested in the retirement system or for currently eligible members, within
ninety days of the effective date of this act.
