AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 99A of Chapter 41 of the General Laws. It would require any member of the regular police or fire department and fire alarm division of a city or town, who was appointed after August 1, 1978 and is not subject to Chapter 31, to reside within 15 miles of the limits of the city or town where they are employed. However, the bill also allows a city or town to increase this 15-mile residency limit through a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under Chapter 150E.
