An Act increasing the age of retirement for uniformed public safety personnel in designated seasonal communities
This bill raises the retirement age for uniformed public safety personnel (like police and firefighters) from 65 to 67 in towns officially designated as "seasonal communities." It amends two existing laws (Chapter 415 of the 1987 acts and Chapter 32 of the general laws) to update the retirement age provision. The change specifically applies only to public safety workers in communities with seasonal population fluctuations, such as coastal towns dependent on tourism. The bill makes a direct, concrete change to retirement eligibility without altering other benefits or provisions.
