Bill > H2572

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 32, Section 3(2)(g) of the law to add certain employees of the Commonwealth to Group 2, which includes employees required to respond to emergencies or work in hazardous environments. The specific employees added include those who respond to hazardous material spills, inspect areas with hazardous materials, work in laboratories with dangerous materials, use scuba diving equipment, work as aerial foresters or crewmen, and engage in homeland security, emergency response, and other public safety duties. This change would provide these employees with enhanced retirement benefits and other protections due to the hazardous nature of their work.
