S 1858 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to defining employees in Group 2

S 1858, titled "An Act relative to defining employees in Group 2," would establish a formal definition for employees classified under "Group 2" within the public service sector. It directly affects public service employees currently designated as Group 2, clarifying their eligibility for specific benefits or roles. The key provision requires the legislature to specify the criteria for Group 2 classification in law, eliminating ambiguity in current administrative practices. This definition would standardize how these employees are treated in employment-related matters like benefits or job classifications. The bill does not alter existing benefits but focuses on creating a clear statutory reference for Group 2 employees.
