Massachusetts H2980 amends retirement benefits for county correctional nurses by adding specific nursing roles to the eligible positions.

Massachusetts H2980 amends the General Laws to expand the list of eligible positions for retirement benefits to include county correctional nurses. Specifically, the bill adds roles such as registered nurse, medication-assisted treatment nurse manager, psychiatric nurse, psychology nurse practitioner, director of nursing, licensed practical nurse, nurse practitioner, and paramedic. This change ensures these professionals are recognized for their service in correctional facilities.
