Increases the cap on outside income for public pension recipients in Massachusetts.

This bill proposes to amend Section 91A of Chapter 32 of the General Laws by raising the cap on outside income for public pension recipients from $15,000 to $65,000. This change would allow public pension recipients to earn more income from outside sources without affecting their pension benefits. The bill is supported by multiple legislators and aims to provide greater financial flexibility to retirees.
