Bill > H1680

This bill amends Section 9A of Chapter 258 of the General Laws, which deals with indemnification, meaning financial protection against potential loss or legal liability. Specifically, it adds the "police department of the University of Massachusetts" to the list of entities for whom the state provides indemnification, alongside the "state police." This change ensures that officers of the University of Massachusetts police department will receive the same level of financial protection and legal defense from the state as state police officers when they are acting within the scope of their duties.
