Bill > H2878

This bill amends the Massachusetts retirement system by adding "transitional parole officer I, II, III" to Group 4 of the contributory retirement system for public employees. In practical terms, this means that parole officers in these specific transitional roles will now be classified in Group 4, which typically includes more hazardous or physically demanding public service jobs that allow for earlier retirement and potentially more favorable retirement benefits. By inserting these specific job titles into the existing law, the legislation ensures that these transitional parole officers receive the same retirement benefits as other Group 4 public safety employees, such as supervising prison camp officers. The bill represents a targeted modification to improve retirement provisions for a specific category of parole board employees.
