An Act authorizing the town of Acton to increase the residency limit for members of its police and fire departments

This bill (H 4168) would authorize the town of Acton to raise the residency requirement for its police and fire department employees. Currently, Acton limits where these staff members can live; this bill would allow the town to increase that distance limit. The change directly affects Acton police and fire department members who reside within the town. The bill requires local approval from Acton before taking effect.
