An Act relative to employees of the Commonwealth that are required to respond to crime scenes

HD 469 adds forensic scientists employed at the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory to the list of Commonwealth employees required to respond to crime scenes. The bill amends Chapter 32, Section 3, by inserting this group after existing positions like "head guard and chief of waterfront police." This change directly affects forensic scientists at the State Police Crime Laboratory, expanding their mandatory response duties. The amendment is a technical update to existing law without altering other requirements or funding.
