The Special Commission on the Commonwealth’s Disability Retirement System filed its final report yesterday. Senator Brownsberger and Representative John Scibak chaired the Commission, which has met regularly since September. The Commission held hearings to seek the public’s feedback in October and has considered proposals to improve the system since then.
The report includes recommendations of the Commission and data analysis conducted by the Commission Chairs. It also provides an overview of all of the proposals suggested by Commissioners.
We invite your feedback on the Commission’s recommendations and the Commissioners’ proposals.
