AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure fairness in retirement benefits for certain employees of the Department of Corrections. The key provision is an amendment to Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws, which adds "correctional program officer A/B, C, D or equivalent or successive titles who have been employed in such capacities or other Group 4 titles for 10 years or more" to the list of eligible employees for certain retirement benefits.
