An Act relative to retirement benefits for care givers at the Soldiers' Homes

This bill amends a Massachusetts law to expand retirement benefits eligibility for specific healthcare workers at two Soldiers' Homes. It directly affects registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, recreational therapists, and physical therapy assistants employed at the Holyoke and Chelsea Soldiers' Homes. The key provision adds these job titles to the existing list of employees qualifying for retirement benefits under Chapter 32 of the General Laws. The change clarifies that these caregivers, who provide essential health services, are now explicitly included in the retirement benefit program.
