An Act relative to defining employees in Group 2
This bill amends Massachusetts law to reclassify specific trial court employees into Group 2 for retirement purposes. It directly affects court service coordinators, housing specialists, psychologists, court reporters, interpreters, and other staff whose duties involve direct contact with criminal defendants. By adding these roles to the existing list of Group 2 employees, the legislation ensures they receive the same retirement benefits as other personnel in that category. The change is administrative and does not alter the core responsibilities or daily operations of the court system.
