Bill Summary

Relative to residency requirements for certain public safety officials in cities and towns. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 41 Section 99A of the General Laws to require that any member of the regular police or fire department and fire alarm division of a city or town appointed after August 1, 1978, who is not subject to Chapter 31 (the state's civil service law), must reside within 15 miles of the limits of the city or town in which they are employed. However, the bill allows a city or town to increase this 15-mile residency limit through a collective bargaining agreement negotiated under Chapter 150E, which governs public sector labor relations.
