Bill > H2829

This bill modifies the retirement classification for harbormasters and assistant harbormasters in Massachusetts. Specifically, the legislation amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws, which governs retirement systems, by adding language to include employees of cities and towns who are appointed as harbormasters or assistant harbormasters under Chapter 102 of the General Laws to "Group 2" retirement classification. Harbormasters are local municipal officials responsible for managing and overseeing harbor and waterfront activities, and this change would likely provide them with more favorable retirement benefits typically associated with Group 2 classifications, which often include public safety and other municipal workers who have jobs with potentially higher physical or safety-related risks.
