Bill Summary

Relative to residency requirements for certain public safety officials in cities and towns. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 41 Section 99A of the General Laws to change the residency requirements for certain public safety officials in cities and towns. The bill requires that members of the regular police or fire department and fire alarm division who are appointed after August 1, 1978 and are not subject to Chapter 31 must reside within 15 miles of the city or town where they are employed. However, the bill allows a city or town to increase this 15-mile residency limit through a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under Chapter 150E.
