Bill > S1795

This bill amends Section 26 of Chapter 31 of the Massachusetts General Laws to modify the hiring preference system for veterans in public service employment. Specifically, the bill adds a new category of preference for members of the Massachusetts National Guard or Reserves of the United States Armed Forces who have served continuously for at least two years. By inserting this new provision, the bill creates an additional hiring priority for these service members, effectively improving employment opportunities for National Guard and Reserve personnel. The change represents a targeted effort to recognize and support military service members who have demonstrated a significant commitment to their military duties, potentially giving them an enhanced advantage in the public sector job application process.
