An Act to preserve public safety grant funding for cities and towns
This bill prevents cities and towns from losing public safety grant funding if they don't comply with certain requirements in Chapter 40A. It specifically adds a provision stating that eligibility for grants - like the Firefighter Safety Equipment Grant program - cannot be withheld based on compliance with Section 3A of Chapter 40A. The change directly affects all municipalities receiving public safety-related grants under current law. It ensures funding remains accessible regardless of adherence to the specific provisions being amended.
