Bill Summary

Relative to the classification for certain employees of the Department of Developmental Services in the contributory retirement system for public employees. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to include employees of the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) holding the positions of HSC A/B, HSC C, HSC D, or other DDS Group 2 titles, who have been employed in such capacities for 10 years or more, in the contributory retirement system for public employees. This change allows these DDS employees to be classified in the same retirement category as prisoners, which likely provides them with enhanced retirement benefits compared to their previous classification.
