Bill > H3596

This bill authorizes the town of Hull to exempt the position of police chief from the civil service law, which is a set of state regulations governing public employment to ensure fairness and merit-based hiring. This exemption means that the town would no longer be required to follow the standard civil service procedures when hiring or appointing a police chief. However, the bill includes a provision to protect the civil service status of anyone already serving as police chief in Hull when this law takes effect, meaning their current employment protections would remain unchanged. The act becomes law immediately upon its passage.
