For legislation to include public works employees for killed-in-the-line-of-duty benefits. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to include Department of Public Works employees in the existing killed-in-the-line-of-duty benefits program. Specifically, it would insert the phrase "and Department of Public Works employee" after the words "correction officer" in the relevant section of the law, effectively extending these death benefits to public works employees in addition to the already covered public safety personnel.
