AI Summary

This bill proposes to add law enforcement councils to the definition of "public employer" under the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act. The Tort Claims Act provides a legal framework for individuals to seek compensation from the government for injuries or damages caused by the negligent actions of public employees. By including law enforcement councils in the definition of "public employer," this bill would allow individuals to bring tort claims against these councils, which are inter-municipal organizations that provide law enforcement services to participating municipalities.
