H 1892 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to anti-retaliation protections for public employees

This bill amends Massachusetts law to strengthen anti-retaliation protections for public employees who file complaints or participate in investigations. By referencing the definition of "employer" in Section 148, the legislation extends these safeguards to cover a broader range of public sector supervisors and officials. The change ensures that public workers are shielded from punishment when they exercise their legal rights regarding workplace issues.
