AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the definition of Group 4 in the contributory retirement system for public employees in Massachusetts to include certain co-generation steam firemen and engineers. Specifically, it aims to add employees who are employed as steam fireman/co-generation, third class engineer/co-generation, second class engineer/co-generation, first class engineer/co-generation, and chief engineer/co-generation to the Group 4 classification. This change would allow these co-generation workers to be included in the more favorable retirement benefits associated with Group 4 members.
