CIVIL SERVICE/FIRE & POL: Provides relative to certain officers, employees, and positions in the classified fire and police civil service (EN DECREASE SG EX See Note)
HB 739 is a minor amendment to a larger bill concerning the classified fire and police civil service. The specific change removes the word "and" from a list of job titles on page 7, line 7, which directly affects the categorization of certain firefighters and other employees. This adjustment does not alter the bill's core provisions or the rights of the workers it covers. The measure is currently in its final stages of legislative review.
