S 1708 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to retirement benefits for municipal natural resource officers in Plymouth and Barnstable County

This bill amends state law to include municipal natural resource officers and supervisors in Plymouth and Barnstable Counties under the retirement benefits program for Department of Fisheries and Wildlife law enforcement officers. The change specifically applies to these local officers who perform duties similar to state wildlife enforcement agents. By adding these job titles to the existing legal definition, the legislation ensures that eligible workers in these two counties can access the same pension provisions as their state counterparts.
