Bill Summary

Relative to benefits for county sheriffs' correction officers and jail officers. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure pay parity for county sheriffs' correction officers and jail officers in Massachusetts. It proposes that these officers be re-titled as Correction Officer I, II, and III or Jail Officer I, II, and III, and be paid base salaries according to the corresponding salary grades in State Bargaining Unit 4, which covers the Department of Correction job titles. The compensation adjustment would be implemented over three fiscal years, during which county sheriffs would not be required to bargain with public employee organizations representing these officers over base salary rates. After the three-year period, the collective bargaining provisions under Chapter 150E would once again fully apply to the county sheriffs with respect to these officers.
