An Act relative to Massachusetts certified emergency telecommunicators

This bill amends Massachusetts law to formally include certified emergency telecommunicators in the list of essential workers eligible for specific protections under state regulations. It directly affects full-time dispatchers, supervisors, communications center directors, and chiefs who are certified by the state 911 Department. The key provision adds these roles to a legal definition previously limited to hospital staff, ensuring they receive the same statutory recognition. This change clarifies the legal status of 911 professionals without altering their daily duties or pay structures.
