AI Summary

This bill amends Section 58 of Chapter 31 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It allows a city or town, by a vote of the legislative body, to consider an applicant as having resided in that city or town for one year immediately prior to the date of the examination, if the applicant chooses and has obtained a high school diploma from a school in that city or town or resided in that city or town when they received their high school diploma. This change provides a residency preference for applicants to civil service positions in a city or town, based on their high school education history in that municipality.
