An Act authorizing the appointment of retired police officers as special police officers in the town of Freetown

This bill allows the town of Freetown to appoint retired police officers as special police officers. It directly affects Freetown's police department and retired officers who may be hired under this provision. The key mechanism is amending local law to permit these appointments, which requires approval from Freetown's town meeting as noted in the petition. The bill does not create new statewide requirements but adjusts Freetown's specific hiring authority.
