Ensures pay parity for county sheriffs' correction officers and jail officers in Massachusetts.
The bill amends Massachusetts law to ensure pay parity for county sheriffs' correction officers and jail officers. It mandates that these officers be slotted into Department of Correction job titles based on their duties. Over three fiscal years, their salaries will be adjusted to match the Department of Correction's base salary rates. During this period, county sheriffs are exempt from collective bargaining over base salary rates but must comply with other collective bargaining obligations. After three years, full collective bargaining will resume.
