This bill allows the Massachusetts Port Authority to improve retirement group classification for certain law enforcement employees without diminishing benefits for other public employees.

• Chapter 32, Section 3(2)(g)

  The Massachusetts Port Authority may elect to improve the retirement group classification for any group of law enforcement employees who are members of the Massachusetts Port Authority Retirement System by a majority vote of the authority governing board. Nothing in this act shall be construed as authorization to diminish the retirement benefits of public employees by placing any group of employees in a lower group of classification.
