The bill titled "An Act relative to pension benefits for firefighter Leo J. Bracken" seeks to provide enhanced pension benefits to Leo J. Bracken, a firefighter from Boston who was rendered totally and permanently incapacitated due to injuries sustained in the line of duty on October 17, 2019. The bill stipulates that the Boston retirement board shall increase Bracken's disability pension to 100% of the regular compensation he would have received had he continued working until retirement age or death. Additionally, it allows Bracken to earn up to half of his retirement allowance without incurring a refund penalty and mandates that all payments under this act be non-taxable to the extent permitted by law.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for Bracken's indemnification for medical expenses related to his injuries, the payment of his accumulated deductions from the annuity savings fund, and a provision for his spouse to receive 75% of his pension benefits upon his death, provided they were married at the time of his retirement. The funding and administration of these benefits will be managed by the Boston retirement board in accordance with existing laws. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
