The bill titled "An Act granting creditable service for Jason Patrissi" aims to provide Jason Patrissi, an employee of the probation service and a member of the state employees retirement system, with up to 6 years of creditable service for his work with the Vermont Department of Corrections from December 1998 to March 2006. This credit will be used to calculate his superannuation retirement allowance under Massachusetts law. The bill specifies that the state board of retirement will determine if the service rendered in Vermont is equivalent to that in the Massachusetts probation service.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that Jason Patrissi must contribute to the annuity savings fund of the state employees retirement system an amount equal to the contributions that would have been deducted from his regular compensation during the period of service in Vermont, along with regular interest as determined by the board. The bill is declared an emergency law, emphasizing the immediate need for its provisions to preserve public convenience.
