An Act relative to clarifying the application of the heart bill
This bill amends Section 94 of Chapter 32 of the General Laws to clarify which police forces are covered under existing provisions. It adds "or of the police force of the Office of Environmental Law Enforcement" to the list of entities already included (such as public works building police). The change directly affects the Office of Environmental Law Enforcement's police force by explicitly including it under the same legal framework. This is a technical clarification with no new policy or program, simply updating the scope of an existing law.
