An Act relative to employment of attorneys by county retirement boards

This bill amends Massachusetts law to remove a restriction preventing county retirement boards from hiring attorneys who are currently active members of the retirement system or serving on the retirement board itself. It directly affects county retirement boards across Massachusetts that employ legal counsel. The key change modifies Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws, specifically removing language that previously barred such attorneys from being hired. This allows boards greater flexibility in selecting legal representation without excluding qualified attorneys who have direct involvement with the retirement system.
