H 2948 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act regarding retirement of public authority law enforcement employee groups

This bill (HD 3063) allows the Massachusetts Port Authority (MPA) governing board to improve retirement group classifications for its law enforcement employees who are part of the MPA Retirement System, via a majority vote. It directly affects MPA law enforcement employees by potentially providing them with better retirement benefits. The key provision requires the MPA board to approve any classification change through majority vote, and explicitly prohibits reducing retirement benefits by moving employees into lower classification groups. The bill focuses solely on procedural changes to retirement classifications without altering benefit levels.
