HD 1730 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to critical incident intervention by emergency service providers

HD 1730 amends the definition of "Emergency Service Provider" in state law to explicitly include retired law enforcement officers, police dispatchers, 911 operators, and emergency medical personnel. This change directly affects these specific emergency service roles by formally including them within the legal definition. The key mechanism is a simple update to the statutory definition, clarifying which personnel qualify under existing provisions. This is a procedural change to the law's terminology, not a new policy or service. The bill does not create new requirements or funding.
