An Act relative to public safety on private college and university campuses

This bill expands the legal authority of security officers working on private college and university campuses in Massachusetts. It grants these special state police officers the same powers, immunities, and privileges as regular police officers, including the ability to use electronic weapons like Tasers while on campus property. Additionally, the legislation ensures that these officers are eligible to receive official Massachusetts police identification cards under the same conditions as municipal police and University of Massachusetts officers. The law applies specifically to private institutions and their surrounding areas, excluding public colleges and universities.
