Bill Summary
Relative to the appointment of fire officers and firefighters in the town of Ware. Public Service. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill seeks to grant the Board of Selectmen in the Town of Ware the authority to appoint all fire officers and firefighters, notwithstanding the existing state law (Chapter 48, Section 42) which gives that power to the fire commissioners. Specifically, the bill would allow the Selectboard of Ware to serve as the fire commissioners and have sole authority to hire and promote all firefighters and fire officers in the town. The Fire Chief would retain their other powers and duties as outlined in state law, but the legislature may modify the details of the legislation as long as it remains within the general public objectives of the petition.
