An Act relative to exemptions for civil service laws
This procedural bill amends Section 4B of Chapter 4 in the General Laws to add a reference to "Chapter 31" in the exemption clause for civil service laws. It directly affects certain state employee classifications covered under Chapter 31, which typically includes specific roles like law enforcement or public safety positions. The change modifies the legal reference point for exemptions but does not create new exemptions or alter policy substance. This is a technical update to existing civil service law language.
