Bill > S01898

This bill provides a special legal exception for Mark Barnhart, David Skinner, and James Pappas, allowing them to take the competitive civil service examination for a full-time police officer position with the Wayland police department, despite potential existing restrictions in current civil service law. Specifically, the bill enables these three individuals to sit for the exam and potentially be placed on the eligible list for appointment, contingent upon their performance on the examination. While they would receive this unique opportunity, the bill also stipulates that they will still be subject to the standard merit and fitness provisions of civil service law that apply to full-time police officers. The legislation is a targeted, individual-specific measure that creates a narrow pathway for these three people to pursue employment as police officers in the Village of Wayland, bypassing typical civil service entry restrictions. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing an immediate opportunity for the named individuals to pursue their potential law enforcement career.
