AI Summary
This bill provides retroactive compensation for paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who staffed 911 ambulance response units during the COVID-19 Massachusetts state of emergency declared on March 11. The compensation rate is set to be equal to the rate paid to non-probationary firefighters in the same service zone plan area, as determined by the relevant collective bargaining agreement. The bill also allows paramedics and EMTs who are improperly denied this compensation to take legal action against their employer for non-payment of wages. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
