Bill > H2380

This bill proposes to reclassify certain employees of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who are required to respond to crime scenes, hazardous material spills, work with dangerous biological or radioactive materials, use scuba diving equipment, or engage in homeland security and emergency response duties into Group 2 of the contributory retirement system. This change means these employees will be eligible for a different retirement benefit structure compared to their current classification, potentially offering them earlier retirement or a higher pension amount, reflecting the hazardous or demanding nature of their work.
