Bill > H3330

This bill authorizes the city of Haverhill to exempt the position of deputy police chief from certain provisions of the civil service law, which is a system designed to ensure fair and merit-based hiring and promotion in public service. Specifically, Section 1 of the bill states that the deputy police chief position in Haverhill will be exempt from chapter 31 of the General Laws, meaning it will no longer be subject to the standard civil service rules. However, Section 2 clarifies that this exemption will not affect the civil service status of anyone already holding the deputy police chief position permanently when the bill becomes law. Section 3 indicates that the act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
