HD 1862 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to harbormasters

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts General Laws to explicitly include municipal harbormasters and assistant harbormasters (appointed under Chapter 102) in a list of entities eligible for certain provisions previously referencing "Cushing hospital." It directly affects city and town employees serving as harbormasters or assistant harbormasters who are appointed per Chapter 102. The key mechanism is a simple textual addition to an existing statute, expanding the scope of the listed entities without creating new programs or funding. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on clarifying who qualifies under the existing law.
