H 2779 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 32 to expand the definition of "Regular Compensation" by adding "employees of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority" after "firefighters." It directly affects MWRA employees by including them under the existing compensation definition used for certain state workers. The change is purely definitional - it does not alter compensation rates or create new benefits but ensures MWRA staff are covered under the same framework as firefighters for this specific purpose. The bill is procedural, making a technical update to existing law without introducing new policy.
