Massachusetts H2964 provides disability and death benefits for explosive device canine handlers and bomb technicians.

Massachusetts H2964 amends the General Laws to include explosive device canine handlers and bomb technicians in the list of public service workers eligible for disability and death benefits. This bill ensures that these professionals receive benefits if they suffer from certain conditions of cancer due to their service. The changes apply to those who are already covered under the public service retirement system.
