S 1718 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to corrections officers injured in the line of duty

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly include state and county corrections officers in a specific legal provision regarding injuries sustained in the line of duty. By adding these officers to the list of covered personnel, the legislation ensures they are recognized alongside other public safety workers for the purposes of that statute. The change is a straightforward update to the text of an existing law rather than the creation of new benefits or policies.
