S 1746 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act providing for a fair and equitable group 4 retirement benefit for police officers working on Massachusetts public higher education campuses

This bill amends state law to include police officers working at Massachusetts public colleges, universities, and the University of Massachusetts in the Group 4 retirement benefit system. By adding these campus officers to the existing list of covered employees, the legislation ensures they receive the same retirement benefits as other state and special authority police officers. The change directly affects law enforcement personnel employed on public higher education campuses who currently fall outside this specific retirement category.
