Bill overview
This bill seeks to allow Massachusetts state retirement benefits to include service time for firefighters who worked with the federal fire department at the Otis Air National Guard Base. It would authorize the State Retirement Board to grant creditable service to these individuals, effectively creating a ‘buy-back’ program. This aims to recognize and reward the contributions of these firefighters, acknowledging their service alongside federal personnel. The bill is part of a series of similar proposals focused on active service buy-back programs for first responders.
