AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure paid family and medical leave benefits for municipal employees in Massachusetts. It amends the definition of "employer" in the state's existing paid family and medical leave law to explicitly include municipalities, districts, political subdivisions, and their instrumentalities. The bill also removes Section 10 of the existing law, which likely contained provisions specific to municipal employers. By making these changes, this bill seeks to extend the paid leave benefits provided by the state's family and medical leave program to workers employed by local governments and other municipal entities.
