For legislation relative to arson investigators. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 94B of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding "members of municipal police departments who perform arson investigations" to the list of personnel eligible for certain provisions related to their employment status or benefits. Specifically, the bill expands the existing language to explicitly include municipal police officers who conduct arson investigations alongside other previously recognized groups like military reservation fire department personnel. The modification appears to be a technical update to clarify and potentially extend specific legal protections or benefits to police investigators specializing in fire-related criminal investigations. While the precise details of the affected benefits are not fully explained in the bill text, the amendment suggests an intent to recognize the specialized role of arson investigators within municipal police departments.
