Bill Summary

Relative to the appointment and reappointment of certain public safety officers. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish provisions for the appointment and reappointment of full-time police officers and/or firefighters who are not subject to Civil Service regulations. The key provisions include: (1) an initial one-year probationary period during which the officer can be removed without recourse, and (2) subsequent appointments of up to three years, with the appointing authority able to remove the officer for "just cause" after a hearing. For officers covered by collective bargaining agreements, the non-reappointment would be considered a discharge or removal, and the standards and procedures in the agreement would be enforceable.
