Bill Summary

For legislation to prohibit mandatory polygraph testing for persons applying to become police officers. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 19B of chapter 149 of the General Laws, which pertains to public service employment, by adding the phrase "but not" after the word "employment" in line 9. This change effectively prohibits mandatory polygraph testing for individuals applying to become police officers, meaning such tests cannot be a required condition of employment for these applicants.
