AI Summary
This bill seeks to expand the protections against disciplinary action by employers for employees who serve as volunteer emergency responders. Specifically, it would amend existing Massachusetts law to prohibit employers from taking adverse actions against employees who miss work to serve as volunteer firefighters, ambulance personnel, or emergency responders. The bill also expands the definition of protected activities to include work at emergency shelters. This is intended to provide additional legal safeguards for individuals who take time away from their regular jobs to respond to emergencies and assist their communities.
