An Act restoring the retirement rights of certain employees

This bill restores retirement classification rights for specific criminal identification officers within the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department. It ensures that these employees, who were previously classified under the Plymouth County Retirement System, will retain their Group 4 status within the Massachusetts State Retirement System. The legislation applies specifically to first assistant and assistant criminal identification officers who worked before the sheriff's department was transferred to state control. By overriding conflicting state laws, the bill guarantees these workers keep their original retirement benefits rather than being moved to a different tier.
