Bill Summary
For legislation relative to indemnification of University of Massachusetts Police. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 9A of Chapter 258 of the General Laws, which deals with indemnification, a legal term meaning protection against loss or liability. Specifically, it inserts the phrase "the police department of the University of Massachusetts" after "state police" in three different places within that section. This change aims to extend the same indemnification protections currently provided to state police officers to police officers employed by the University of Massachusetts, ensuring they are similarly protected from financial responsibility in certain legal situations.
