AI Summary

This bill amends Section 99A of Chapter 41 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It changes the residency requirement for members of regular police or fire departments and fire alarm divisions appointed after August 1, 1978 who are not subject to Chapter 31. The bill requires these employees to reside within 15 miles of the city or town where they are employed, as measured from the closest border limits. However, the bill allows the city or town to increase the 15-mile residency limit through a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under Chapter 150E.
