HD 2098 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the definition of Group 4 of the state retirement system

This bill amends the state retirement system's definition of "Group 4" to include secretaries and undersecretaries of public safety. It specifically adds these officials to Group 4 eligibility if they previously held a Group 3 or 4 position for at least 24 consecutive months. The change directly affects public safety department leadership who meet the prior service requirement. The key mechanism is updating the legal definition within Chapter 32, Section 3 of the retirement system statutes. This is a technical adjustment to retirement eligibility, not a new policy.
