An Act relative to the timely and consistent payment of law enforcement personnel

This bill amends Massachusetts law to ensure law enforcement officers working on public construction projects are paid on time and consistently. It requires the agency managing the project to take direct responsibility for keeping officer records, processing invoices, and making payments directly to the police departments providing the officers. Additionally, the cost of these police details must be excluded from the initial bid amounts submitted by construction companies. This change aims to separate the financial responsibility for officer salaries from the bidding process for public works contracts.
