AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 22C of the General Laws to allow the colonel to appoint retired uniformed members of the state police as special state police officers. These officers may perform police details or other police duties, provided they meet certain requirements, such as having retired within the last 3 years, having an honorable discharge status, and being certified by the police officer standards and training commission. The appointed officers will be at-will employees subject to the colonel's discretion and will not be subject to civil service law or rules, but they will be considered members of the state police for the purposes of certain liability provisions.
