Bill > H2783

This bill modifies the Massachusetts public employee retirement system by eliminating Group 1 and expanding the definition of Group 2. Specifically, the bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws to broaden the classification of Group 2 to include "officials and general employees including clerical, administrative, and technical workers, laborers, mechanics, and all others not otherwise classified." By removing the existing Group 1 definition and expanding Group 2's scope, the legislation effectively consolidates public employee retirement classifications into a single group. This change appears to streamline the retirement system's structure and potentially simplify administrative processes for public employee retirement classifications. The bill is part of an effort to reorganize the state's contributory retirement system, ensuring that all public employees who were previously in Group 1 are now reclassified under the expanded Group 2 definition.
