An Act relative to public safety dispatchers
This bill amends an existing law to add "public safety communications dispatchers, supervisors or operations managers" to a list of covered personnel. It specifically updates Section 3 of Chapter 32 by inserting these roles after "signal maintenance repairmen," expanding the scope of the provision. The change directly affects public safety dispatchers and their supervisory staff by including them under the same legal provisions as signal maintenance repairmen. The bill makes a technical adjustment to the law's definition without creating new programs or funding.
