Bill > S1920

This bill proposes to amend Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws to include police officers employed at Massachusetts state colleges, universities, community colleges, and the University of Massachusetts as part of a specific retirement benefit group. Currently, certain public safety employees are eligible for a Group 4 retirement benefit, which typically provides more favorable retirement terms due to the physically demanding and potentially dangerous nature of their work. By adding campus police officers to this group, the bill aims to provide these officers with the same retirement benefits as other public safety personnel, potentially recognizing the unique challenges and risks associated with campus law enforcement. The proposed change would ensure that police officers working on public higher education campuses receive fair and equitable retirement treatment comparable to other public safety professionals in Massachusetts.
