Bill > H2400

This bill proposes to amend Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws, which deals with public service retirement benefits, by adding a specific group of employees to those eligible for certain retirement provisions. Specifically, it seeks to include employees of the Holyoke and Chelsea Soldiers' Homes who work as Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Recreational Therapists, and Physical Therapy Assistants. This inclusion means these caregivers, who provide essential services at these state-run homes for veterans, will now be recognized under the retirement benefit framework outlined in that section of the General Laws, alongside other public service employees.
