Bill > S1929

This bill proposes to exempt the position of deputy fire chief in the town of Shrewsbury from chapter 31 of the General Laws, which is the civil service law. The civil service law generally governs the hiring, promotion, and other employment practices for public sector positions to ensure fairness and merit-based selection. By exempting this specific role, the town of Shrewsbury would no longer be required to follow the standard civil service procedures when filling the deputy fire chief position, allowing for potentially different hiring criteria or processes. This change has already received local approval.
