Bill > H2267

This bill amends Section 8(2) of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL), which pertains to public employees retired for disability. The key change is that any public employee who was retired due to a disability and is being considered for restoration to service in a vacant position will now require the explicit approval of the head of the department where the vacancy exists. This adds an extra layer of authorization beyond the existing provisions for returning to service, ensuring that department heads have a direct say in re-employing individuals who were previously retired due to disability.
