Adds licensed pipefitters and refrigeration technicians to the list of eligible retirement benefits in Massachusetts.

The bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to include licensed pipefitters and refrigeration technicians among those eligible for retirement benefits. This change extends the same benefits currently provided to other licensed professionals such as electricians and engineers to these additional trades. The bill seeks to ensure that these skilled workers receive the retirement benefits they have earned.
