AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of "police officer" in Massachusetts to include police officers appointed by the University of Massachusetts, Environmental police, Massport police, and campus police officers of state colleges and universities. This allows these officers to be eligible for the same benefits and protections as other state-employed police officers, such as worker's compensation and injury leave. The bill also clarifies that the injury leave provisions in state law apply to these additional groups of police officers.
