Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2948 allows the Massachusetts Port Authority to improve retirement benefits for law enforcement employees.

Massachusetts H2948 amends the General Laws to allow the Massachusetts Port Authority to enhance the retirement group classification for law enforcement employees in the Massachusetts Port Authority Retirement System. This improvement can be enacted by a majority vote of the authority's governing board. Importantly, the bill explicitly prohibits any reduction in retirement benefits by placing employees in a lower classification.
