HD 1096 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act designating Aerial Foresters of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to be in Group 2 of the contributory retirement system

HD 1096 designates aerial foresters and tree crewmen employed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) as members of Group 2 in the state's contributory retirement system. This change directly affects these specific DCR employees by placing them under the same retirement classification as other state workers in Group 2. The bill achieves this through a technical amendment to Chapter 32 of the General Laws, adding the job titles to the existing retirement system description. It does not create new benefits but aligns these employees with an established retirement framework.
