H 4782 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the minimum years of service required to be eligible for a civil service promotion to the position of fire lieutenant in the town of Milford

This bill establishes a new rule for the Milford fire department requiring firefighters to have at least five years of service before they can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant. By setting this minimum experience threshold, the legislation ensures that only those with a longer track record in the department can take the promotional exam for this specific role. The change overrides previous local or state regulations that might have allowed for promotions with less experience, directly affecting current and future candidates in Milford seeking advancement.
