S 1620 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to non-clerical workers of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws to add non-clerical workers of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to a specific list of employees. The change directly affects these workers by including them in the legal protections or benefits currently outlined for police officers in the same statute. By inserting this new category into the law, the bill ensures these employees are covered under the same provisions as police personnel. This legislative update does not create new benefits but rather extends existing ones to a previously excluded group of state workers.
