An Act relative to membership on the POST commission
This bill amends the law governing the POST commission's membership to require one member to be appointed from a list of three candidates nominated by the Massachusetts Coalition of Police. It adds this requirement after the existing provision for a member appointed from the Massachusetts Bar Association. The change ensures the commission includes law enforcement representation through the Coalition of Police, which will submit the nomination list for the appointment. The bill does not alter the existing appointment process for the Bar Association member or other commission members.
