AI Summary

This bill proposes to include Asian applicants as minority applicants for police and fire department hiring in cities and towns that implement a minority preference policy. This means that Asian applicants would be treated the same as other minority applicants under the city or town's minority preference until the percentage of Asian police officers and firefighters reasonably reflects the percentage of Asian residents in the city or town.
