An Act relative to probation officers

HD 563 amends Massachusetts law to include probation officers in a provision covering officers who suffer bodily injuries from violence while performing their duties. The bill inserts a specific reference to probation officers into the existing law, ensuring they qualify for the same workplace injury protections as other covered officers. This change directly affects probation officers by expanding their eligibility for benefits they were previously excluded from. The bill does not alter the benefits themselves but extends their application to probation officers.
