The bill titled "An Act to authorize the Wrentham Select Board to remove the position of lieutenant of the town of Wrentham Police Department from the requirements of M.G.L. Ch. 31" seeks to exempt the police lieutenant position in Wrentham from the civil service regulations outlined in Chapter 31 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Specifically, Section 1 of the bill states that the position of police lieutenant shall not be subject to these regulations, allowing for greater flexibility in the hiring and management of this role.
Additionally, the bill ensures that the civil service status of any current police lieutenant in Wrentham will not be affected by this change, as stated in Section 2. The bill also grants the General Court the authority to make clerical and editorial changes to the bill, provided that any amendments are approved by the Wrentham Select Board and align with the public objectives of the petition. Overall, this legislation aims to streamline the administrative processes related to the police lieutenant position while safeguarding the rights of current employees.
