An Act relative to the city of Salem harbormaster and assistant harbormasters

This bill reclassifies Salem's Harbormaster and Assistant Harbormaster positions as Group 4 employees under Massachusetts civil service law (M.G.L. c. 32, § 3(2)(g)), granting them specific employment status. It retroactively counts all prior service by eligible incumbents as Group 4 service, regardless of when it was performed. The bill directly affects current and future holders of these roles, who are already sworn City of Salem Special Police Officers. The change takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
