An Act exempting the position of Fire Chief in the city of Holyoke from the provisions of the civil service law

This bill exempts the Fire Chief position in Holyoke from standard civil service rules that typically govern city employee hiring and job protections. It removes the requirement for the Fire Chief to meet civil service exam and seniority standards, allowing the city to hire and manage the role without those procedures. The current Fire Chief, who holds civil service status, retains their protected position under this change. The exemption applies only to Holyoke's Fire Chief role and takes effect immediately upon passage.
