S 1871

This bill amends Massachusetts General Law Chapter 32, Section 3 to expand retirement benefits eligibility to include specific nuclear reactor and radiation safety personnel employed at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The legislation adds eight job titles—including Nuclear Reactor Supervisor, Chief Reactor Operator, and Director of Radiation Safety—to an existing list of positions that qualify for particular retirement provisions under the state's public employee retirement system. By including these specialized nuclear facility workers in the statute, the bill would extend the same retirement benefits currently available to other designated public service positions to these UMass Lowell employees who work in radiation and nuclear reactor operations.
