HD 2474 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act elevating the National Guard to a cabinet level position

This bill reorganizes state government by elevating the National Guard to a cabinet-level position. It creates an "Executive Office of the Military Division" under the Adjutant General, who gains secretary-level authority. The bill transfers all employees, property, and responsibilities from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to this new office (or vice versa), ensuring no loss of seniority, benefits, or union representation during the transition. It directly affects state government agencies and employees handling military and public safety functions. The change modifies specific sections of the General Laws to reflect this structural shift.
