Bill > H2951

This bill modifies the retirement classifications for University of Massachusetts police officers by making changes to the Massachusetts General Laws. Specifically, the bill removes the "chief of security for the University of Massachusetts medical school or supervisory identification agent" from Group 4 retirement classification and adds "chief of police for the University of Massachusetts medical school and police officers of the University of Massachusetts" to Group 4. Simultaneously, the bill removes "University of Massachusetts police" from Group 2 retirement classification. In practical terms, this means that University of Massachusetts police officers will now be classified under Group 4, which typically includes higher-risk public safety professions that allow for earlier retirement and potentially more favorable retirement benefits. Group 4 classifications usually apply to law enforcement, firefighters, and other high-risk public safety workers, and this change will align the University of Massachusetts police with similar professional public safety classifications. The bill appears to be a technical adjustment to ensure that these police officers are appropriately categorized within the state's retirement system.
