An Act relative to retirement classification of licensed drinking water operators
This bill updates Massachusetts retirement laws to include licensed drinking water operators in a specific employee category. It directly affects individuals who hold certifications for operating drinking water supply facilities under state regulations. By adding these professionals to Group 2, the legislation ensures they are classified similarly to other licensed workers for retirement purposes. This change is administrative and does not alter existing benefits or create new ones.
