AI Summary

This bill establishes an environmental police cadet program within the Department of Environmental Protection. The program will admit Massachusetts residents between the ages of 19 and 25 who meet certain requirements, such as passing a physical fitness exam and a qualifying examination. Cadets will receive on-the-job training but will not be subject to civil service laws or entitled to civil service benefits. The program is intended to help cadets meet the physical fitness standards required for appointment as environmental police officers. Successful completion of the cadet program can count towards creditable service for retirement purposes if the cadet is later appointed as a police officer.
