An Act providing that officers in all positions of the Falmouth Fire Department subject to Chapter 31 of the General Laws shall be exempt from the civil service law

This bill exempts officers in all positions of the Falmouth Fire Department from the state's civil service law, provided those roles are currently covered under Chapter 31 of the General Laws. The legislation allows the town to manage these specific fire department roles without adhering to standard civil service hiring and retention rules. However, the act includes a safeguard that protects any officer who was already employed on a permanent basis in a civil service position on the date the law takes effect. This change applies only to the Falmouth Fire Department and does not affect other municipal departments or fire departments outside the town.
