An Act regarding Massachusetts teacher retirement benefits for Janet Brandwein.

    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.  The Massachusetts Teachers Retirement Board is authorized and directed to grant Ms. Janet Brandwein, as creditable service, that percentage of full time credit equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days or hours actually worked during that year, and the denominator of which is the number of days or hours that would have been worked by a full time employee during that year as determined by the Board, for the nine years in the period of 1973 to 1984 when she was teaching on a less than half-time basis.

SECTION 2.  The Massachusetts Teachers Retirement Board is authorized and directed to recalculate Ms. Janet Brandwein’s superannuation retirement benefit to reflect this additional creditable service.
