Bill > H3331

This bill allows the town of Maynard to exempt the positions of patrolman, sergeant, and lieutenant in its police department from certain provisions of chapter 31 of the General Laws, which is the civil service law that governs hiring and promotion for many public jobs. This exemption means that these specific police roles in Maynard would no longer be subject to the standard civil service rules, potentially allowing for different hiring or promotion processes. However, the bill includes a provision to protect the civil service status of anyone already holding one of these positions on the effective date of the act, unless they are later promoted to a different role. The bill also states that it will become law immediately upon its passage.
