An Act relative to providing fairness and equity in the retirement benefits of employees of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, sewer departments, sewer districts, water and sewer departments and districts, and wastewater facilities

This bill amends state law to include operation and maintenance employees of various water, sewer, and wastewater agencies in existing retirement benefit provisions. Specifically, it adds Massachusetts Water Resources Authority staff and workers from local water and sewer departments and districts to the group covered under Chapter 32 of the General Laws. The change aims to ensure these employees receive the same retirement fairness and equity currently guaranteed to other public sector workers listed in that chapter. By updating the legal definition of covered personnel, the legislation extends current benefit standards to a broader range of municipal utility workers.
