An Act relative to the retirement benefits of certain employees of the Department of Transitional Assistance and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities

This bill amends Chapter 32 of the General Laws to extend existing retirement benefits to specific employees. It directly affects unionized workers (bargaining unit 8) in the Department of Transitional Assistance and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. The key provision adds these employees to the list of state workers already covered under the current retirement framework. This is a technical adjustment to include these groups under existing retirement eligibility, not a new benefit program. The bill does not change benefit amounts or create new funding.
