H 2838 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act designating certain employees of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to be in Group 2 of the contributory retirement system

This bill designates Highway and Street Construction and Maintenance Workers employed by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) as part of Group 2 in the state's contributory retirement system. It amends existing law to formally add these workers to the list of eligible employees under Group 2, ensuring they are covered under the same retirement benefits as other specified state workers. The change affects only MassDOT employees in these specific roles, updating their retirement system classification without altering benefit levels or funding. This is a procedural update to retirement eligibility rules, not a new policy.
