summary

This amendment corrects the amount necessary to provide one-time funds to subsidize the purchase of military service credit for the members of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System who applied and were determined eligible to purchase the service credit for calendar year 2004 per Public Law 2003, chapter 693. The amendment is necessary because the original calculation was based on 6 individuals who are eligible. Since 2 of those individuals have already retired, the new calculation is based on the 4 remaining individuals who were determined eligible to purchase service credit for calendar year 2004.
