H 2662 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to critical incident intervention by emergency service providers

This bill amends an existing law to explicitly include police dispatchers and 911 operators under critical incident intervention programs for emergency service providers. It directly affects these communication professionals by expanding their coverage under current protections. The key mechanism is a simple textual addition to Section 20O of Chapter 233, inserting "police dispatcher or 911 operator" after "firefighter" in the law. No new requirements or funding are introduced - only a clarification of who is covered.
