H 1610 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to employees of private railroads

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly include employees of private railroads that provide public services under existing assault and battery protections. By adding this specific group to the legal definition, the legislation ensures these workers receive the same legal safeguards against physical attacks as other protected individuals. The change applies directly to private railroad workers delivering public services and updates the statute without altering other criminal penalties or procedures.
