An Act regarding retirement of public authority law enforcement employee groups

This bill allows the Massachusetts Port Authority (MPA) to upgrade retirement classifications for its law enforcement employees who are part of the MPA Retirement System, through a majority vote by the MPA's governing board. It directly affects MPA law enforcement staff by potentially improving their retirement benefits. The key provision permits the MPA board to elect this upgrade, but explicitly prohibits using the bill to reduce retirement benefits by moving employees to lower classification groups. The change modifies how the MPA can categorize these employees' retirement benefits under existing law.
