AI Summary

This bill seeks to expand the hiring radius for police departments in Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes to amend the existing law by increasing the maximum distance requirement for police officers from 15 miles to 40 miles from the limits of the city or town in which they are employed. This change would provide police departments with a larger pool of potential candidates to consider during the hiring process.
