Bill Summary

For legislation relative to civil service resident preference. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the existing civil service laws in Massachusetts. The key provision of the bill is that 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 prior to the examination date if the applicant obtained a high school diploma from a school in that city or town or resided there when they received their high school diploma. This change would provide more flexibility for applicants to establish residency requirements for civil service positions in their local communities.
