H 2783 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the definition of group two of the public employee retirement system

This bill amends Massachusetts' public employee retirement system by revising the definition of "Group 2." It adds specific language to clarify that Group 2 includes officials and general employees - such as clerical, administrative, technical, laborer, and mechanic staff - as well as all other employees not classified elsewhere. The change directly affects public sector workers whose retirement classification depends on this definition. The amendment removes the previous Group 1 definition and explicitly expands Group 2's scope to cover these broader categories of state and municipal employees.
