S 1755 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act clarifying call firefighter rights

This bill amends Massachusetts law to clarify the rights of call firefighters, who volunteer to respond to emergencies without a guaranteed salary. Specifically, it changes a legal provision to ensure that these volunteers are eligible for certain benefits regardless of their specific employment status. The change is a minor textual edit that broadens the scope of protections available to this group of emergency responders.
