An Act relative to 911 emergency telecommunicators inclusion in the heart bill
This bill amends Massachusetts law to officially include 911 emergency telecommunicators in the state's Heart Bill. The change requires that these call center operators be counted alongside other first responders, such as firefighters and police, when calculating the number of people who can receive state-funded heart health benefits. By adding this specific group to the legal text, the legislation ensures they are recognized as eligible recipients of the program's resources.
