Bill > H2883

This bill makes a minor technical amendment to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 32, which governs public employee retirement law, specifically modifying a single word in section 4(2)(b). By changing the word "the" to "any" in the second sentence of this section, the bill appears to be clarifying language related to call firefighters' rights within the public employee retirement system. While the specific impact of this single-word change is not immediately clear without seeing the full context of the original text, it suggests an intent to broaden or clarify the language around call firefighters' retirement benefits or eligibility. Call firefighters are typically volunteer or part-time firefighters who respond to emergencies when needed, as opposed to full-time professional firefighters, and this bill seems aimed at ensuring their proper treatment under retirement law.
