An Act relative to the retirement of state university and community college police officers
This bill amends Massachusetts state law to standardize the retirement process for police officers employed by the University of Massachusetts and its community colleges. Currently, these officers fall under a specific category for retirement purposes, but the legislation updates the legal text to explicitly include them alongside other state university police forces. By changing the wording in Chapter 32 of the General Laws, the bill ensures that these officers are treated consistently with other state university law enforcement personnel regarding their retirement benefits and procedures.
