An Act relative to maintenance of physical examinations records for public safety personnel

This bill amends Massachusetts laws regarding public safety personnel to address situations where an employer has lost the physical examination records for an employee. It allows the employee or their employer to submit a sworn affidavit stating that the exam occurred and was passed if the original paperwork is missing. This affidavit would then serve as official proof that the individual met the required physical standards. The change directly affects police officers, firefighters, and other public safety workers in the state who may face administrative hurdles due to lost files. By accepting sworn statements as valid evidence, the legislation aims to resolve record-keeping gaps without requiring new physical tests.
