An Act relative to Massachusetts certified emergency telecommunicators
This bill amends the Massachusetts public employee retirement system to include certified emergency telecommunicators in Group 2. It specifically affects full-time dispatchers, supervisors, center directors, and chiefs who are certified by the State 911 Department. The key provision adds these roles to the list of covered professions in the state's general laws, granting them access to the same contributory retirement benefits as other public employees in that group.
