Retirement Reclassification Update

With the start of 2019, we begin a new legislative session on Beacon Hill and restart our efforts to reclassify certified emergency telecommunications across the Commonwealth from Group 1 into Group 2 of the public retirement system.

Two bills have been introduced into the House of Representatives and the Senate:

Bill S.1529 An Act relative to Massachusetts certified emergency telecommunications – Introduced by Senator Paul R Feeney and other co-sponsors.

Bill H.2366 An Act relative to Massachusetts certified emergency telecommunicators – Introduced by Representative Todd Smola and other co-sponsors.

Both Bills were referred to Joint Committee on Public Service on 01/22/2019.

Please consider contacting the members of the Joint Committee on Public Service to express the importance and the impact of this bill to telecommunicators.
