An Act Souza's Law - Change MassDOT Highway workers from Group 1 to Group 4
This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws by adding "Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway workers" to a specific classification section. It directly affects MassDOT highway workers by changing their statutory classification from Group 1 to Group 4 under existing law. The change is purely technical, updating the legal definition to explicitly include these workers in Group 4, without altering their benefits or duties. The bill is procedural, focusing on precise language in the law rather than creating new policy.
