Bill Summary
Relative to indemnification of the University of Massachusetts police. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 9A of Chapter 258 of the Massachusetts General Laws to add the police department of the University of Massachusetts to the list of law enforcement agencies that are eligible for indemnification. This means that the University of Massachusetts police officers will be entitled to have their legal defense and any resulting judgments or settlements paid for by the state, similar to how state police officers are currently covered. The bill aims to provide the same level of protection and support to the University of Massachusetts police force as is already afforded to other law enforcement agencies in the state.
