HD 674 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

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

This bill amends the definition of "Group 4" in Massachusetts' retirement system to explicitly include licensed electricians employed by the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions (like cities/towns). It directly affects state and local government electricians who were previously not specifically covered under this retirement classification. The key change is adding the phrase "employees of the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions who are employed as licensed electricians" to the existing legal definition. This clarifies that these workers now qualify for Group 4 retirement benefits. The bill makes a specific definitional update with no new programs or funding.
