An Act relative to the equitable merger of the Group 4 and Group 2 retirement classifications of the University of Massachusetts police

This bill (HD 3198) merges two retirement classifications for University of Massachusetts police employees by updating their definitions in state law. It removes "University of Massachusetts police" from Group 2 and adds specific UMass medical school police leadership and officers to Group 4, creating a single retirement category for all UMass police roles. The changes directly affect UMass police officers and chiefs at the medical school, ensuring they share the same retirement classification. The bill makes no substantive policy changes beyond aligning these job titles under one retirement group.
