Bill > H2239

This bill proposes to amend Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws, which pertains to the contributory retirement system for public employees in Massachusetts. The key provision is the insertion of language that would classify employees of a municipal department who are certified operators of wastewater or drinking water facilities into Group 2 of this retirement system. Group 2 typically refers to employees whose duties are considered more hazardous or demanding, often leading to different retirement contribution rates and eligibility. This change aims to recognize the specific responsibilities and potential risks associated with operating these essential public utility facilities.
