An Act relative to EMS leave without loss of pay

This bill expands paid leave protections for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workers in Massachusetts by updating existing state laws. It specifically broadens the scope of covered employers to include political subdivisions of cities and towns, as well as the Boston Public Health Commission and fire or water districts. The key mechanism involves amending two sections of the state statutes to ensure these additional entities must provide leave without loss of pay to eligible EMS personnel. This change directly affects municipal and regional government agencies that employ EMS staff but were previously excluded from these specific leave requirements.
