Mass. bill would add certified municipal building officials to Group 2 retirement definition
Summary
Representative Tackey Chan filed House Bill 2776 to amend chapter 32, section 3, to include "municipal building officials certified by the Commonwealth" in the statutory definition of "Group 2." The bill was filed Jan. 10, 2025, and later co-petitioned by Senator Michael O. Moore; it was referred to the Public Service Committee.
Representative Tackey Chan filed House Bill No. 2776 on Jan. 10, 2025, asking the Massachusetts General Court to amend the statutory definition of “Group 2” in section 3 of chapter 32 of the General Laws to include municipal building officials certified by the Commonwealth. The bill was later joined as a co-petition by Senator Michael O. Moore on March 7, 2025, and is listed for referral to the Public Service Committee.
The bill text would alter the definition of Group 2 by inserting the phrase "; municipal building officials certified by the Commonwealth;" immediately after the existing words "Public works building police." The filing form lists the measure as "An Act relative to municipal building officials" and cites related prior filing, House No. 2461 of the 2023–2024 session.
If enacted, the change would modify the statutory listing of titles and positions that comprise "Group 2" under section 3 of chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The filing and bill text do not specify administrative implementation steps, any immediate changes to benefits or contributions, or which retirement system procedures would be used; those details would depend on subsequent committee consideration and any enacted language.
The docket notes the bill was filed Jan. 10, 2025 (House Docket No. 664; House No. 2776) and records a similar matter in the previous session. No committee reports, votes, or debates are recorded in the filing. The next step for the bill is committee referral and consideration by the Public Service Committee.
