H 2512

This bill amends Massachusetts General Law Chapter 32, Section 3 to expand retirement benefits eligibility to specific nuclear energy-related employees at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The legislation adds eight positions—including Director of Radiation Safety, Nuclear Reactor Supervisor, Chief Reactor Operator, and Nuclear Reactor Operator—to the list of job classifications that qualify for special retirement provisions under state law. By including these UMass Lowell nuclear facility workers in the retirement statute, the bill would grant them access to the same enhanced retirement benefits available to other hazardous duty positions already recognized in the law.
