An Act ensuring the fair treatment of military service members and veterans
This bill creates a new division within the Office of the Inspector General to help military service members and veterans resolve employment disputes. The division will include intake officers to listen to complaints, investigators to gather evidence from employers and military units, and mediators to facilitate settlements between the parties. If mediation fails to solve the issue, the case will be sent to the Attorney General for further legal action. The law also clarifies that "uniformed services" includes state defense forces and troops from other states or territories serving in Massachusetts.
