Bill Summary

For legislation relative to state police arbitration. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 22C of the General Laws to modify the appellate review process for uniformed state police officers who have been tried by a departmental trial board. The bill allows such officers to petition either the Civil Service Commission or the American Arbitration Association for a de novo review of the trial board's findings and punishment. The decision of the Commission or the arbitrator is final and conclusive. The bill also prevents the reinstatement of a state police officer who has been dismissed from the force after a trial board hearing or who resigns while facing charges.
