S 1715 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to firefighter training

This bill allows retired firefighters to work more than 960 hours per year for the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services. Currently, state law limits retired firefighters to a maximum of 960 hours of employment annually, but this change would remove that cap. The legislation directly affects retired firefighters who wish to continue working in various capacities within the department. By amending Section 91 of Chapter 32 in the General Laws, the bill provides greater flexibility for these individuals to take on additional work without violating existing hour restrictions.
