Bill > S2046

This bill proposes to amend Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to include state police dispatchers, specifically those in groups SPD 1, 2, and 3 who have worked in that capacity for at least 10 years, as eligible for certain retirement benefits, a change that would impact their pension calculations. Additionally, the bill mandates that the State 911 department develop recommendations for a centralized statewide training and certification program for public safety answering point dispatch employees, aiming to establish uniform professional skills and classifications, with a report on these recommendations and draft legislation due by January 6, 2017.
