H 2663 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the internal benefits of public safety telecommunicators

This bill requires public safety telecommunicators - those who handle emergency calls for police, fire, and medical services - to receive the same internal workplace benefits as first responders (like police officers and firefighters). It specifically mandates that these benefits, such as training, equipment, or workplace perks, must be identical to those provided to frontline emergency personnel. The bill explicitly states that telecommunicators' compensation and pension benefits will not be altered. It applies to all public safety telecommunicators employed by public safety agencies.
